Sending parcels abroad

Hi guys, I want to send 3 parcels abroad from the UK to China, they contain 3 phones which will be used by colleagues in Hong Kong. At the post office, they recommended we go with a private courier because the phones contain lithium batteries and only a max of 2 can go in each parcel, meaning we'd have to pay for both parcels to be sent which is a waste of money. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good, cheap courier that'll put all 3 phones in the same parcel?

Sorry I meant *1 parcel containing 3 phones

Why not just have your colleagues purchase the 'phones in HK?

Or you could courier them the handsets, minus batteries, and they could obtain these locally.

Probably just as cost effective as sending kit as parcels ?

There are a lot of regulations about carrying lithium batteries which are classed as 'dangerous goods'.

Check out some courier websites to see their requirements for carrying them.
