Sending over 2kg parcel overseas

As far as I can tell from the Royal Mail website, its not possible to send packages over 2kg overseas. Can anyone confirm that?
I need to send a 2.3 kg package to the Netherlands as cheaply as possible, does anyone have any recommendations?

DHL does up to 31.5kg I thinkOne day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
If they are over 2kg they have to go parcelforce, still available at the post office. I think there`s a link to Parcelforce from the Royal mail website.0

Is the package one item, or can it be split into 2 parcels because it would still work out cheaper than sending one 2.3kg parcel by Parcelforce, as my mum found out once when she was posting items to me in the Middle East0

Yep found that in the end, but more expensive than Pharos International.
Can't split unfortunately. Really annoying the postage is so much as this is an RMA and I could buy a replacement myself for not too much more than the postage cost!0 -
