    It should be £18.50 to send by special delivery. I think they are around 8kg

    What is the heaviest you can send special delivery.
  • If it helps, Staples (the shop ) do a next day delivery service for £8, as long as you can lift it and put it on the counter that is what they charge (just confirm that the delivery has not been picked up for the day already as if it has it will take 2 days). HTH
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p

    Do Staples still do this (via DHL). I know they used to, but didn't they change the way they charged to size/dimensions rather than weight. Seem to remember it's no where near as cheap as it used to be.

    Yes. Its all changed now im afraid. The prices seem extortionate now..I remember seeing it was roughly £6 for an envelope! The maximum size boxes are also pretty small dimension wise.

    Correct. 10Kg on their special delivery service. The maximum dimensions of a rectangular item are 610mm x 460mm x 460mm
