Item to Germany

RMS2

I need to send an item to Germany. It has to be about a 3 day courier and it needs to have insurance to cover £350.


It has to be someone that takes electronic items and their insurance covers it.


It'll be about 2kgs, 1ft wide, 18" long by 8" high, most of which is just packing to make sure it doesn't get damaged.


The German distributor sent it by DHL airfreight 48 hour, earlier this year and it cost me 14.50 Euro (just over a tenner). You have to laugh, I doubt I'll get 3 times that price.

If the distributor is sending hundreds of items a day they will get much cheaper rates than individuals can. Is it possible to get them to organise sending it back to them?

What is the reason for return? Why do you need a 3 day courier? What does the last sentence actually mean?

I needed it to go back quickly, it is going with another shipment to China.


The last sentence means, if I could get it to go back, for three times the price it cost them, I'd be doing well.
