I thought I would put my two penny worth in this discussion. I used to work for the Post Office in the UK have dealt with Foreign Mail, registers, swift air. Foreign Data Post,I know things have changed a lot in the last couple of years. So I made a phone call and found out the following.
I have been told it is now Inter Data Post to Australia not registered. Now I know that this will be tracked all the way and it does get priority all the way. For the UK it is now Special Delivery, not Registered, this is tracked too. I was told that there is Inter Signed For, if you are sending mail to Australia, this has no special treatment, it is just signed for at receipt of item. Parcel Post I was told, there is no insurance for any item if it gets lots. I know that all my mail to Australia gets there quicker than when I send it to the States. I also find even in Europe it can vary a lot how long my mail will take depending again on the country I am sending it too.
