I posted a steering wheel that was just short of 10 kgs iirc and it cost £77, depending on who you use I would guess £30-£40

Depends very much whether it is below or above 2kg as there is a massive difference in pricing under and above that weight.

Would be worth packaging it and getting it weighed to check for sure.

We usually find that the cheapest way to send it is:-

Under 2kg - Royal Mail International Signed for Airmail or Surface Mail
Over 2kg - Parcelforce (Standard Parcel or Global Priority) or Parcel2Go

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Natalie
