Parcels to the Falkland Islands

charlysez

i have a small business and have been asked to send goods to a BFPO address in the Falklands. at first i thought this would be straightforward, ha!!

this will be a regular shipment and the parcel can be around 30kgs, alot of the companies i have researced via the web dont cover the FI, does anyone have any experience?

HAve just checked the Royal Mail website and the price for upto 30kg is £13.60. The link is: http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinderResults?pageId=pc_sltc_rm_product&productCarrier=PW&catId=23500532&keyname=21&index=0

I'm not an expert but I think that only Royal Mail will deliver to BFPO addresses.

I'm pretty sure that you can do it via Royal Mail/Parcelforce, though I'm not sure if their weight limit is 20 or 30kg which could be a problem.

But surely delivering to BFPO means delivery to the forces mail depot in the UK - they take care of the overseas leg. You don't need to know the destination - and in some cases won't be allowed to know.

parcelforce would be the ones to use i think with that weight
