    Getting an estimate of over £200 pounds?
    1 package at 30kg or 7 packages at 4kg?

    1 at 30 of course. Use a box...or tape two boxes together - whatever it takes.

    Or if you are a cheapskate, wrap them in black pallet wrap and then parceltape.

    Even Amazon Marketplace ones are dropping prices. Cheapest new one is now £269
  • Sometimes it is easier to use parcel company as they collect the item from your address/work rather than having to queue in the PO, as I have done many times
    If this has helped you please don't forget to click Thanks, thankyou.
  • Speedferries day trip....Dover to Bolougne....£25 is not a bad option either. I think you can still also do a Seafrance out after 12.15 back before midnight for £19..but that's to Calais & everyone goes there.

    Any good?

    I did one at 30kg, with a box size of 50x50x50 (rough estimate) coming out at £236.81 + vat

    I noticed the pixmania one was creeping up in price last night every time we went back to Amazon..playing games.
  • It's all very well quoting sub £10 for postage, but once you add insurance cover up to £250 you are at £16/17. RM SD is £19.45 and I have a nice local PO with no queues so I don't have to wait in.

    I do accept if you are posting lots of parcels then it will get cheaper for a company account, but for the average person perhaps not worth it.
  • I'm so P***ed off with my brother. It was his idea to get a wii for my sister for christmas, but I ended up being the one to have to find one. I've spent god knows how many hours on the net and traipsing the shops looking for one. I finally get one off the John Lewis website after 2 weeks of looking, for £191 - including Super Mario Paper and now he's annoyed at me because it was more than £180. I don't think he gets how bloody difficult it was to nab a wii.:mad:

    I know this is a bit off topic, but i needed to vent! (christmas is such a stressful time!!)
