Cost of sending packages from the UK


Recommended Posts

If you want to track it all the way use Airsure through the Royal Mail. However, not all receiving countries use this, so you'll have to check if Thailand is one of them. If not send it Int Signed For, can track it up until it leaves the UK.

I have found Parcelforce to be far too costly but Royal Mail is much better. It's weird as they are both part of the same outfit but their pricing structures are very different.

Parcelforce is a courier service.

Royal Mail is a normal postal service.

no Airsure for Thailand.

Airsure tracking is kinda basic anyway.

ALWAYS demand a refund if the delivery date was later than promised. Three weeks for a three day service would have me raising all kinds of hell with Parcelforce, believe you me.

Royal Mail have NEVER been late on any of my Special Delivery packages. Almost annoys me sometimes as I'd rather wait an extra day and get the money back. ;)

Thanks Mickey, I will check that one out as well.

I have used them a lot, create an account and after your first order you should get 5% off.

I sent a package with them to mainland Europe. Big box 40x35x30 or something and roughly 2.5kg. I selected the DHL option and it cost about
