Q: Can you send something securely to China?
My friend wants to send some really important paperwork to my address in China. How can they do this securely? We would both feel comfortable if I was able to sign off on this letter.
Use DHL, UPS, FedEx etc. I've never heard of them loosing anything.
Daveblax:
Will I be able to sign for these packages? I have gotten things lost before.
Scandinavian:
I think so. I've used DHL to send documents back and forth to Europe, always recieved the envelopes personally.
I believe that if it's only important for the receiver, you're some sort of chance to get it.
And I believe that if someone along the chain in China believes it could be important for them, your chances are reduced.
China has all the usual premium mail companies. DHL, FEDEX etc work just as well here as anywhere else. Land mail can take months.
I echo ScotsAlan above on the best companies to use.
I'd also add, make sure you have the address in Chinese and a phone number for a local contact.
Have the package sent to a work address if possible, or that of a trusted local friend.
