I've bought a few cheap but nice presents for a dear relative in Holland. But looking on the RM website it is going to cost me £30 to send them (the cheapest way!) This is more than the presents cost LOL.

Anyone know a cheap courier?

    Parcel2ship are the ones! They have since taken two parcels to Holland and one to Portugal for me. I'm thrilled to bits- half the price of Parcelforce AND they collect from my house so no struggling down the PO just to queue for half an hour. Brilliant!

    This caught my eye because I got bludgeoned into Secret Santa on a group I belong to and ... just my luck ... I get the person who lives in Holland. We had to spend £10 on the present and it cost me £8 to send! I don't think that's fair. Everyone else in the group is in the UK. I won't be doing it next year.
