You pay the postie. He'll take a cheque. If you're not in they hold it at your post office / parcel force depot for a reschedule, or you can go there, pay and collect. Possibly you might be able to mail in the payment, but as Global Priority requires a sig, then you or someone needs to be home.

I was thinking whether it is worth sending it to a work address, but they might be more dilligent about tax collection on packages sent to corporate addresses and if you are trying to save the pennies this might not work.

Can you join CostCo they might sell the lenses you want at a silly price, they do the Focus Dailys for about half the price of most opticians, but you need a contact lens appointment first (its the law apparantly that you can't sell contacts without first checking they fit and that the person knows how to wear them - a good law - but irritating - IMHO)
