Does anybody know the best carrier for sending stuff to the UK, I just sent and ECU to be tested/fixed and it was 400AED with DHL 5th the cost of the ecu.

400 would be insured for full value though? i'd have thought sub 100dibs dhl for that. could've done it FOC for you last week.

Easiest would be finding someone else with a company shipping account or who is flying home soon.

Nope 400 before insurance total rip of, ad ye last week if i remember you where kind of busy

Emirates post is quite good for sending from this country.

Just had two packages delivered this morning, 1 direct from Paul Smith using FedEx and the other from Amazon using shop and ship, surprisingly neither had a customs charge slapped on it. Was expecting the worst on both! First time in months not had a charge, rather happy.
