Cheap Parcel Delivery Thread Mk4

rick_x

I want to send a 8.5kg (78x38x28) parcel to non-mainland Greece (Crete) but can't seem to get any quotes less than £60. I've tried most of the companies suggested on this site, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

I think the post office would probably be best in this case.

Parcelforce comes up as £50, bit gutted as the gift I'm sending was a bargain at £35!

The post office may be different from Parcelforce. Try international standard at the post office.

Sadly, they use parcelforce but thanks for your suggestions.

I'm currently using ParcelMonkey which charge £6.90 for a standard parcel

I just wanted to know whether there is anything cheaper, as I'm planning to send over 20 parcels over the next 2 weeks?

If this is a regular thing then you could be getting a bit better on account rates.

Thanks

Is that £6.90 + VAT or £6.90 inc VAT? (If the latter, that's a good 1-off price).

Go through topcashback for one quid cashback per shipment.

Thanks for that.

I think £5.90 is the cheapest out there, most likely even cheaper then the Account rates
