Default Posting items abroad, small and large

I keep getting asked to post stuff abroad by various forum members.

Everything from lightweight stuff to possibly a pallet load of stuff.

I know there will be people on there and have to deal with this daily so I'm looking for company details of people who can help with my problem.

For example to post 5.2kgs via Royal Mail its £32 for a basic postage deal where as using DHL via who I work for its about £22 + vat but doesn't take a month to get there

Some items are lighter than 5kgs and others could be things like gearboxes etc..

Any advice would be appreciated

not sure about your area but i get a pallet anywhere in uk for £40 delivered, oversea's i think its about 80-90 last time i checked!

worth checkin up on though just in case.

used to post a lot of ax stuff to malaysia and prices are astronimcally high, then get accused of making major cash for things like washer bottles sold for £4 + £40 delivery to get them there which was the bang on price for it! UNREAL!

Both me and a mate have used P4D Parcel Delivery loads of times, always proved to be bargain prices and reliable, click on the link below and input the parcel details to get an instant quote

Good thread. I'd also like to see what a pallet costs to get to North America. I keep emailing shippers for quotes and no one EVER replies.
