Sending parcels internationally?

[AmyDave]

What companies are the best to send stuff?
And the cheapest?

I have a friend in Canada who wants one of my rugs but because they weigh 2kg shipping is about 60 quid!

20-30 pounds would've been ok but 60 is a bit high...

Any help please?

We use interparcel (http://www.interparcel.com/), very reliable and good prices, they give you choices from the likes of DHL etc. even for hefty parcels.

Hi
I just checked with inter parcel for you as they deal with lots of different couriers and they all come out around the £60 mark.

I've also put various options into my franking machine which I use to print postage for my parcels and Royal Mail - Small packet works out around £25 for 2kg
thanks

I can't post a link but search google for moneysavingexpert parcels and click the first link. Gives a few different options depending on weight/location.

I often post parcels to Australia and regardless of the size, if they are 2kg and under, they can go by small packets post and usually cost about £20 (not sure if it would be cheaper going to Canada). I sent my niece a hobby horse for christmas, so quite a big parcel, but it still went via small packets!!! HTH.
