Perhaps someone can help, I need to send a parcel from a UK residential address to a residential address in Russia. I seem to be struggling to find a company that is willing to ship anything at this time however, does anyone have any ideas?

The item is an AC Compressor and weighs around 5kg, value is £50.

We used to send to Russia using International Royal Mail but had to stop because too many parcels never reached their destination.Russian post not very good.
Probably better to use someone like DHL.It will probably stay within the DHL network.
Might be a bit more expensive but a better chance of getting there.

Every time I had to send stuff to Russia it never made it.

Throw in some nice goodies for the customs guys. (Will cost more that what you are sending )

But... what you want to get through will.


Worked there for a while. Interesting.

DHL or UPS. About 30 to 60 quid. Wrap it tight and good. Get insurance if poss.
