Best/fastest/cheapest to send a small parcel 2.5kg

I need to send off my drone to the new owner, total box weighs just under 2.5Kg and its about the size of 2 shoe boxes stacked on top of one another.
My local post office (in a tiny village) just said it would be £17.80, not collected until Monday and no guarantee of it arriving before Christmas
Who would you recommend to get it there asap please? Never posted a parcel off before

Out of interest what service are they quoting for £17.80? it doesn't fit any of the postage costs on the RM site- also what is the value of the parcel as that makes a difference.
You might want to check out DPD and UPSI’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Could be Parcelforce rather than RM.0

I'd recommend UPS via upstoday.com
More or less guaranteed next day delivery and should cost you £6 plus VAT if you drop it at a collection point (best to do it before noon).
There are others who'll be cheaper but they tend to be the most reliable for the price, in my experience..0 -
DPD but check out parcel2go which is a comparison siteYou're not your * could have not of * Debt not dept *0
