Dear UK/SA GA crew

I need to get a small box of gifts to friends in Johannesburg, South Africa quite urgently.

Is there any crew likely to be going that way soon? I can meet you at any southern UK airport to facilitate collection. Box will be left open for your inspection and for UK/SA customs as required.

Any help gratefully received.

DHL / UPS / FedEx overnight delivery - €45 or thereabout! :ok:

A thoughtful suggestion CP but funds are very limited.

I'm still keen on the crew carry route if I can

Don't wanna be "that guy", but accepting carriage of parcels for third parties is illegal for crews, and grounds for dismissal in most outfits I know..

Without considering that travelling to "any southern UK airport" sounds not much less expensive than 45 €… :}

Hey, if finances are that tight, perhaps now is not the time to send gifts halfway around the world, especially urgently.

The gifts in question are a heater matrix for an Austin Mini; its a third of the price in the UK. Purchased by a friend in SA. I'm just putting in a couple of letters for relatives in the same box.

But point taken on the crew carry on aspect. I don't wish anyone a P45.
