Cheap Parcel Delivery - official discussion

Can anyone recommend the cheapest service to send to Beijing, China - it's to return an item weighing 500g, 20cm x 20cm x 10cm with a value of £85 (not bothered about insurance either). It only needs to be tracked, it can be as slow as you like as I only need to have proof of sending to receive my refund.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

If you only need proof of sending, will bog standard surface mail's Proof of Posting not do? You can just just scan it an e-mail it. £4.50. If that isn't enough, and you need online tracking to say you've sent it, surface mail with signed for is £8.55.

Try contacting your local APC and Tuffnells depots. They may be able to help. You can find their phone numbers below.

www.apc-overnight.com (the 'new customers' box is on the left of the page)

www.tuffnells.co.uk (the 'new customers' box is on the right of the page)

APC couldn't beat the price I pay now, and the lady I spoke to at Tuffnells said she would e-mail me with a quote (that was a week ago, and there's been no quote sent from them)

Thank you anyway

I'll repost my query on the off chance that someone knows of a competitive quote....


Can you beat this price please to regularly send the same sized parcels within the UK? (4-6 a week)
I would be a very happy bunny if you could!

Weight: 5kg
Dimensions: 50cm length x 5cm width x 138cm height

£7.49 + VAT = £8.99 FOR 'NEXT DAY' DELIVERY

Thanks in advance

Depends on the size and weight of your item.

I have to send a CD (ebay) from the UK to Switzerland.

Is Royal Mail the best choice?

Thanks
