eBay - Parcelfriend

Hi,
I'm selling an item on eBay at £60 and £10 P&P via next day courier based on Parcels 2 Go prices.
I've been contacted this morning about sending the item to Australia which I'm happy to do.
However after looking around I've found the general price seems to be about £55 (It's near 6KB in weight)
After more looking on Google I decided to check Quidco and see what parcel firms where on there and found Parcel Friend.
I've had a look on google to see if I could find any reviews but nothing appears to come up.
They ship to Australia for just £23.99 for up to 30KG! See http://www.parcelfriend.com/services.php
I find this rather shocking compared to the general cost of £55 I've been quoted from the likes of Parcel Force and up to £120 from the likes of DHL!
Has any one tried Parcel Friend before?
It says on there FAQ
And I see this seems to be the general way of working based on other sites I've seen but as I say £23.99 seems cheap to me. I'm not complaining if this is legit and I'm not going to get stung in other costs and the fact they are on Quidco offering 5% cashback makes me incline to trust them but does any one have any experience with this company?
