posting large parcels to europe
Discussion
We normally use Parcel Monkey ( www.parcelmonkey.co.uk), good prices & never had any problems.
I've used Parcel2Go to send heavy exhuasts (25kg) to and from Germany in the past. Service is DHL overland - 2 days to Germany, fully tracked. Cost me £28.
The size of the package is important, not just the weight. The inital box I used was about 20cm too long for the exhuast - I initally packed it with foam but discovered I could save quite a bit of cash by chopping the box down.

Be careful
Most parcel couriers have a weight limit of 30kgs for 'small' parcels
Above that, it becomes a 'freight' parcel, which attracts a higher price.
If it's a TV, you don't want to use a courier that uses conveyor belts for their parcels - it'll be smashed to bits by the time it gets there.
In fact, I'd look into using a furniture carrier for that reason alone as TV's, in my experience, don't travel well on a groupage network.
