We have a requirement to send documents to France 2-3 times a week. Can anyone recommend a broker or courier? The best price I have found so far is £19 + VAT with "Courierpoint".

Thanks waiting for a call back from UPS. Although I've checked published rates for UPS and "Express Saver" is £86.36 (+ VAT)!

It really depends on how heavy, how quick & what value as to the rate you'll pay. Most of the ones in the table are VAT exempt too.
Next day is £44.28 (Parcelforce)

That's just the "published" rates, nobody pays those.

Most account customers get 60-80% discount on those rates
Cheers Nicky. Any idea what kind of discount I should aim for when (if) UPS call back? Would £10 really be achievable - that's nearly 90% discount. Looking at volume of 2-3 a week.

It must be address dependant, the place I am shipping to gets added "remote" charges. It's not very remote...
