Best cheap parcel post abroad

Hope someone can help, I have sold an item on ebay and charged too little for posting to Sweden. Can anyone tell me the cheapest to send a package approx 2.3kg to Sweden. The size is approx 30x30x30cm.

I may have to try and reduce to down to less than 2 KG and send it via Royal Mail and add the extra £3 or £4 to it myself.

BTW I charged £9

Thanks

  • If it was me, I'd pay the extra (which I have done in the past. Charged too little for postage but I told them I'd send it via Royal Mail (to France) and so I wanted to stick by my word) and learn from the mistake.

    I doubt you'll get it much cheaper. But maybe someone else will have an idea. Be aware of taking too long to decide though in case the person complains about time taken to post.

    Btw, you can post a 2.3kg with Royal Mail. They won't object. It'll cost you just under £13.

    I will pay the extra myself, my own fault for not checking my listing. I thought RM charged a lot more after 2 KG I will double check
