Hey guys got the ready for visa email. So since based out of US, which courier service to use for mailing the docs. Were you guys able to get the prepaid envelope. Can someone please outline the steps they followed. Thanks again
Congrats! It was quite a hassle for me to get the prepaid envelope and for a reasonable cost, but I eventually used FedEx Ground. I mailed off my post PPR docs on March 14 via USPS First Class International and my application was approved this Monday the 26th. Today I got tracking email from FedEx saying that the return envelope has been shipped.
USPS First Class International mail is supposedly reliable but doesn't have tracking, and is slow. Sending by FedEx or UPS is more common, but it's a lot more expensive. I won't be ready to move until May anyway, so I decided to go the slow and more cost effective way. I was first quoted $68 something from UPS for something like 2 to 3 day delivery, and $56 from FedEx for the same. UPS website made it easy to create prepaid label, but so expensive! FedEx was a real hassle. I couldn't do it online, and I called the help desk that was very unhelpful and difficult to deal with. You also have to create a FedEx account to do a prepaid label, but I couldn't sign up for FedEx account online because it kept rejecting my credit card numbers. I finally went into a FedEx store and the employee first directed me to a computer and I found out I would still need to create FedEx account. Those computers also rejected my credit card for creating account. But the employee was able to do so manually, after a wait in line, and I finally was able to create the prepaid return label which actually ended up being $25 something for FedEx Ground 3 to 5 day delivery. Then printed it out and it generated 5 sheets of paper, mostly for customs. At least the employee knew what to do and put them all into a plastic pouch folded up and stuck to my return envelope
