sending parcel to australia

hi, i want to send a parcel to australia - it is about30/30/30cm and 6.5kg in weight, i can also send 2-3items together (made into 1 parcel) which would weigh 13 or just under 20kg, to reduce the price. Any idea who is the cheapest? I want it cheapest possible way and dont want to spend 100£
thank you

    Depending on how quick you want it to get there it it could cost more but I thin the cheapest you will get is about £65 wth parceforce on the international economy service. no insurance or tracking available and could take 42 days to get there.

    as for increaseing the size and weight it does add to the cost but if you feel you need to send them over it works out cheaper to as the cost goes up by less than the cost of sending 1 item.

    Thanks,
    I have heard that companies like parcel force are usually the moste expensive compared to smaller companies? 65£ would be ok ish if it was for lets say 20kg or 25 kg, - i wouldnt mind that, any idea?

    usually pretty good & you can get cashback (10% I think) if you use quidco.
