Posting an Xbox with games?

brains

Basically I'm skint and need to raise some funds so I'm clearing out old items. I have an xbox that I never use with about 10 games and a carry case. To post this special with royal mail will cost almost £20. Are there any cheaper options?

Thanks!

You could try royal mail standard parcels with extra insurance that should cost about half the money of special delivery

But this would not be considered an online traceable form of postage

try http://www.parcel2go.com/uk.asp

or another courier service.

You can send parcels from Staples, I think they use DHL as the courier, for around £10 (I think).

As stated above parcel2go and they are reasonable in price, I sent a Nintendo Gamecube with loads of stuff and it only cost me £8 (this was last year so prices may have risen).

It is easy to order the courier via their website as all you do is fill in what you are sending and the collection address with a day you want it collecting and then the delivery address and they do the rest. You have to make sure the parcel is no bigger than a certain size and weight but it gives all the details on the site

Thanks to everyone who has replied, would using a company like parcels2go be considered traceable incase a scammer tries to do a chargeback?

From what I remember you get a a bit of paper from them saying they have collected it like a packing note and it contains a tracking number so you can go on their site and it tells you the time and date of when it gets delivered
