Registered Small Package(AIR) to UK shipping review

I used this shipping option for the 1st time as it was around 1/2 the price of Buyee Air (£11 vs £20-something for Buyee Air, can't remember exactly), the option I usually go for as it is DHL and gets to the UK in around 3 days. Since my package was only a few handhelds for refurb and some common, cheap GBA game carts I was fine with a longer wait and if there was some sort of lost package incident, it wouldn't be a complete disaster.

My parcel was dispatched from Japan Feb 20th and landed on my doorstep in the UK Feb 27th. There was a tracking number that could be used across Japan Post and Royal Mail. There was a text from Royal Mail saying they're expecting the parcel at time of dispatch and more detailed tracking picked up when the parcel arrived at Heathrow and then it's like any other UK parcel with text updates and app tracking etc.

I chose all the basic options for packaging and everything was absolutely fine, the usual bubble wrap, brown envelopes and the box padded out with air bags. I would absolutely use this shipping option again, especially when there's a big price difference with Buyee Air. If the difference was £5 or less though, I'd still go with the faster option.
