Sending parcel to Finland

Whats the best way, its a childs violin I am selling on ebay and weighs 1.5kg, and is 70cms long, 25cm wide and 17cm deep.
As it will be paypal it has to be trackable, so I think thats means dhl, I have quoted via parcel2go and its £26 which seems alot, as it keeps pricing for over 5kg due to the volume of space it needs.
Is there a better way.

Thanks but thats still over £26.

There is not a guaranteed trackable international service from Royal Mail.

Your best bet is a courier. As long as you clearly state the price in the listing, it shouldn't be a problem.

P4D are quoting £19.79 plus vat.

I would've expected it to be in that ballpark tbh. I doubt you'll better the price quoted above.

Pharos who I would normally use for things like this are quoting 19.93 + VAT.

Make sure it is adequately insured. Sounds a reasonable price to me as it is only 2 or 3 times what it would cost to send it a few miles in the UK.
