DHL International hand-delivers to the specified recipient (with signature). Full tracking is shared with you. If DHL doesn't service the exact address, delivery to the nearest DHL relay point with notification.

Yes, and it's strongly recommended for successions or heavy family procedures. -£75 on the 2nd document, -£100 per additional document from the 3rd. Significant savings and a single DHL shipment for everything.
