i need to send something urgent to asia, went in post office and got told it'd cost £53 because its ovr 2kg Evil fucking jokers, checked UPS and the likes and all charge around the same or more. Anyone know any other company i could try? thanks a bunch

i've found interparcel or postvan are cheapest for international stuff. parcelforce might be worth a look if you've not tried already.

Eh just send it via International Signed For (or Airsure) Printed Papers, just say inside it's printed papers like a book. Obviously lie on the customs form too...You should be good to go. That's how I send a lot of my parcels abroad and have had no problems.
