Heavy item to Belgium?

Hi there,
I've just waited with bated breath for my auction to end of a brand new car radio - for £94 - I'm thrilled BUT...
...the buyer is in Belgium and the radio etc weighs over 2kg. I did offer overseas postage but the buyer did not contact me before bidding to ask about overseas postage - I HATE it when that happens.
So - I can't find anything on the Royal Mail site about posting to Europe for items weighing over 2kg - I'm probably not looking properly but would anyone be able to help me out so I can send an invoice to the winning buyer?
Thank you!

You can get a quote from Parcel Force Worldwide...but I just did a qucik check for you to Belgium, guessing at the dimensions of the package - and it comes out alarmingly expensive, whether tracked or not!!!
If you go to their website you can enter the details in the 'Send a Parcel' section and get an exact quote.
Failing that, would it be possible to split the package into 2? I know you can't split the radio, lol - but maybe the other bits and bobs could go separately to get each package down to below 2kg?
Hope this helps!0 -

2Kg is not that heavy!! Try using the Royal Mail price finder for starters...

Or you could try a courier like Pharos International...
