What's the dimensions and weight?

Usually up to 15kg, box whichever I can lay may hands on. Something like 61x55x57cm the last one was I think.

Who on earth thought this would be good idea? Giving the credence and even the time of day for another bumbling parcel company to increase their exposure and garner some extra customers. If business models are made and broken buy the success of manipulating this forum god help you all.

It's a mystery then. Because I have the print off from the screen in front of me here and it's not there - however I cancelled Interparcel and booked with Parcel2Go and they did offer me UPS?? So it can't be too big to send with them... And I sent it with them before. The biggest box is always around 15kg mark.

Real mystery. But just when I don't need it. It has shopping of holiday clothes for my friend from abroad in and she is going next week!! The truck is leaving UK tomorrow and it needs to be at the truck depot then. Truck only goes once a week:eek: Any other time it wouldn't matter:mad:

Any idea who is the cheapest for international delivery so I would be able to send it straight there? It's Czech Republic I am sending it to.

I think Interparcel have a FedEx service for £46.50+VAT

Can anyone recommend a courier for the USA?
We are looking to send 20 - 30kg in two parcels measuring 80cm x 50 x 50.
Or is there another way to get larger volumes / weights there?
We send smaller weights / volumes via Transglobal, but prices seem to shoot up for bigger parcels. Thanks in advance.

I think Transglobal will be the cheapest.

I'd always thought sub 2kg to USA was cheapest airmail with Royal Mail small packet at about £23 unsigned for or £28 airsure but i'm sending 2kg to USA with parcelmonkey DHL express for £15.99. I would expect it might be quicker than RM and there is good tracking.

It's down to the parcel volume. With the RM the volume limit is quite large. With PM to get £15.99 it has to be less than 22cm x 22 x 22, as soon as the volume rises to 25 x 25 x 25 the price jumps to £25. 30x 30 x 30 is £35.And so on. But as you say a small volume parcel weighing 2kg is cheaper than RM with International Signed For tracking.
