The cheapest way as far as Royal Mail is concerned is by surface mail -
Though you would have to weigh you item as its maximum weight is 2kg (with the exception of printed papers - books, magazines, leaflets etc of which you are allowed up to 5kg). So surface mail would cost around £9.84 for 2kg.
Airmail - £19.58 - thats for 2KG too.... so rather pricey!!!0 -
Thanks suzzi,
Only problem with Royal mail is that there is no tracking once it leaves the UK0 -
i just sent my brothers birthday pressie out to canada via royal mail and it got there 5 days later i was most impressed as i thought it would take longer! there is no tracking though i guess it depends on the value of the item and the chance you are willing to takeproper prior planning prevents !!!!!! poor performance!
Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat moneyquote from an american indian.0 -
Does it matter if it is not tracked? If it goes missing you can claim from royal mail up to 32 pounds with a certificate of posting or for more if you pay the extra and use int'l signed for or airsure.0
