steve_b_wales Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I want to send a small package to my friend in America. Royal Mail will charge a fortune, so can anyone recommend a different courier etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Actually, royal mail is not that dear as long as you send it slow. Otherwise check parcels2go Edited October 13, 2015 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check out the price at the post office tomorrow morning. The package weighs approx 1kg, and there's no hurry for him to get it, so I'll see if I can send it 'surface' mail, if that's what it's called. Steve.
