    thepackagedeliverycompany.com will do it for £19.00, they seem to do great deals with great service (you can also use discount code MANTRA for parcels leaving the country)

    It doesn't say which carrier you'll be getting. I believe it's UPS at the moment. Looks like another company with great rates that no one else can match, everything looks ok and then suddenly they'll be gone, money taken, parcels not delivered etc.


    Not so sure about that, they have been around since November 2009,

    I have used Transglobal to post via DHL Air Express for a quote a received a quote for £30 including insurance - does this sound about ok?

    It's 37 x 23 x 8 and insurance required for £250

    I did look at that site but there just doesn't seem to be a lot about it on Google in respect of reviews etc. Has anyone else used it?
