Hi all,

I am trying to sell a headphone amp and I have had an enquiry from someone in Finland who wishes to know how much it would cost to post there.

I've had a quick look on the Royal Mail site but it appears to be somewhat expensive to send anything other than a basic letter - upwards of £40, and thats even considering it will probably end up weighing less than 1kg !

So I'm guessing there must be a better option, but what?

DHL is a worthwhile option for that sort of thing smile

Yes, try DHL, FedEx - I used to use Crossflight a fair bit.

1kg is £6.11 to anywhere in europe, maybe even cheaper my girlfriend regulary sends parcels home to Australia and it's only £7 if it's under 2Kg
