How to send cash or other valuables

 

Which service to use

When sending any valuables overseas, we recommend that you use International Signed For™ or Airsure®, which are both available with additional compensation cover.

Packaging

Cash should be packaged securely and so that it is not visible through the envelope. Do not indicate on the outside of the packaging that cash is enclosed.

Coins should not be sent in envelopes - our automated sorting machinery may damage envelopes containing coins, which can lead to delay in delivery and increase the likelihood of the contents being lost.

Countries that don’t allow cash to be sent

Many countries don't allow cash to be sent through their postal networks.  Royal Mail cannot accept liability for loss or damage to mail items containing cash which are sent to these destinations. 
To check what you are allowed to post to different destinations, please use our country A-Z guide.
