    I used ParcelBee for a similar amount of time...

    I need to send an original document (single sheet of A4) to Bolivia. It's not particularly valuable or expensive/difficult to replace, but it needs to arrive reasonably quickly (say a couple of weeks). Based on prior experience that rules out involving the Bolivian post office.

    Best quote I've found so far is £25 from courierpoint.com - can anyone suggest a way to improve on that?

    Never used or heard of them but the price sounds about right.

    Can anyone reccommend a courier to deliver heavy books? I am fed up with losing money selling on Amazon because they only allow £2.80 postage.
    I have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off :o

    Thanks very much for the link - after checking their t&c it seems their maximum compensation on any item is only €500 - in which case it wouldn't be enough... are there any better alternatives to them?

    Finally I got an answer from Ecoparcel's customer service - ie no additional compensation possible beyond €500 - does anyone know cheap alternatives except for Gwizz couriers?

    Thanks
