Hi All,

Any pointers as to which companies are best for export shipments to Australia? I've tried Fedex / UPS / ParcelForce but for a 10kg the best quote I have had is approx £100 (in a 30cm x 30cm x 30cm box).

This is a lot more than I was expecting. Any of the smaller guys worth a try?

Thanks

Give me some details of precisely what you are shipping and what your delivery time expectation is and I might be able to help. Part of one of the businesses I work with is overseas postage consolidation.

I looked at DHL but you don't seem to be able to get an online quote. (unless I am being particularly thick?!)

Not used them for Oz but I use Parcel2go for sending my larger ebay stuff and find them very reasonable - part of DHL I think but seem cheaper and you can book online.
