How to save on shipping & postage?

moomin-papa

All,

With the run up to Christmas on the way I was wondering if anyone knew of a guide or whatnot were I could find out the most cost effective way to send packages to my friends and family?

They're kind of spread around the place (UK, EIRE, AUS & NA) and I'm struggling to find out which companies are best to use to send packages to these places.

Sounds like an ideal project for this site, but if anyone has some other suggestions or general tips I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks and Best Regards

James

I've done a little research and think that the royal mail might be cheapest for smaller items, but if anyone has any more experience/information I'd appreciate it.

RM is always cheaper for smaller items
