Selling a TFT, unsure of postage options.

Hello,

I've got a 17" reconditioned Samsung monitor that's still boxed (Samsung took so long to replace it for my faulty one that I had to go out and buy a new one!). Anyway, I'd like to sell it on Ebay (or try to sell it!) but I've only ever sold small items and I'm not sure what to do about postage. Does anyone have any experience of selling large/heavier items? Thanks

    Persoanlly I'd just send it royal mail standard parcels, make sure it's well packaged and maybe take out extra insurance

    How heavy is it? Sending out electrical items is best done via something like Parcelforce. Under 10kg it will only cost £15 and that inc. £150 insurance.

    Dont use DHL for a monitor, as their insurance doesn't cover them. Parcelforce do though.
    http://www.mhdirectcouriers.co.uk/services/ will be back up and running in a few days im told, and they are much cheaper than going through parcelforce direct.

    It cost about £12 to send a TFT monitor through the normal post for me. It managed to get all the way to Shetland no problem!
