Overseas postage
Im trying to send some car bits overseas, its a land rover wing mirror and some rubber door trim bits to Malta.
I have had a look on the royal fail website and it seems i can not send anything heavier than 2Kgs.
Surely that can not the the case can it?
I need to get prices for the customer before i come back to him.

i use parcel2go.co.uk
you enter the size, weight and destination, then gives you different services to pick from. They collect from your door and you can pay on-line with
paypal.

But its only about 3kgs.
it seems a bit of a waste to use a carrier type service dont you think?
Thanks

Take it to your local post office, they'll send it parcel force for you.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Carbon Mods used ParcelForce (which is Royal Mail, isn't it?) to me in Canada. Fast, good price. But if you guys can figure out an easy,
affordable solution, I'm going to be bugging everyone there for parts ALL THE TIME.
Try whomever Liam is using, because Milford Haven Wales isn't exactly on the way to anywhere, and most of the world doesn't even know
where Oklahoma is. This puts us in the same knowledge category as most US residents, now that I mention it.
Canada though, is a problem, because the couriers from Europe think it should be doubly expensive. Everyone wants the Americans' money, but few
want ours!

Another endorsement - I sent a 5Kg package to my daughter in Sydney Australia - Parcel Farce wanted £80+ with a delivery time of 2 weeks and no
tracking. InterParcel set me up with DHL, it cost me £52 and was delivered in 4 days, with tracking all the way. Oh - and they collected it from my
house.

You set the deal up on-line - dead easy. You tell them the weight & size, where from and where to, and they present you with a range of options
to pick.

another vote for interparcel, it is what we use to ship our stock with at work.
