It's home decorative items such as vases, bedding, aromathearapy products, candles. Size is various but regularly not big. Do you have any suggestion of any company or anyone providing the service. Thanks in advance for your advise.

Local Courier Post?

Ann you will find logistics to be one of your biggest headaches and biggest expense.

Most local companies hire little old ladies who messenger all over the place on the bus and the MTR carrying shopping bags or light back packs.

There are thousands of independent jobbers who drive vans and the prices vary from $60.00 per delivery to over $200.00 per hour.....it all depends on what you need them for.
If you need refridgeration, it's sky high.

Good luck and just make sure you trust who you are sending the goods out with.

As KIA says... Local Courier Post?

Covers most of the population and guarantees delivery within 2.5 hours if collected before 2:30pm. $160 for packages up to 2kg.

If it's bigger than that then the "man with a van" services will go pretty much anywhere in the territory for $250 or so.

I wonder how much regular mail costs? Have never mailed a package within HK, only magazines and I just put 3 local stamps on instead of one......

We use a courier company at work (I can't remember the name). The deal involves a guaranteed minimum # jobs per month, but each one only costs HKD30 for same day deliveries.
