It's 28 riyals. Because you send your passport to the VFS office, they forward it to the embassy, then the embassy sends it back to the VFS office, then they have to mail it to you. So you're basically paying for this last stretch, from the VFS office to be mailed to you. He said if you pay 9 more riyals, you can get sms alerts in terms of where the passport is, like when it arrives in the embassy, when it leaves the embassy, etc etc.
And you're absolutely sure about the 28 riyals? The representative I spoke to seemed a bit unclear on it.

You're very welcome bro, no problem at all. We all gotta help one another out, some were going through it, now are done, some of us are in the middle of the process, and some are just starting. Sometimes it just helps to have someone say some nice words to calm one down, because visa stuff and travel is always stressful. I hope it all works out for the best for your father. Take care.
