Hi all
I have to send a paddy to the States from the UK. I have looked at the Post Office and they will charge (and I am going on the weight being 2kg, just over 4lbs) at £44, but only track until parcel leaves UK! How rubbish is that! So then I look around at the usual suspects - DHL, FedEx et al, and they all have 'collect' services. Well I don't WANT collection of the parcel! This means tying me to the house all day and wagging a day off work - well, "working from home" - which I do not want to be forced to do. If I take the parcel to DHL, as an example, the rate goes from about £33 to £69!!! How does that work??
What do you guys do? And how much (roughly) does it cost? The cost to send the Paddy to me was $38. To go back it looks like it will be at least $60!!
Is this right? I hope I am wrong...
Any and all comments/advice gratefully recieved.
p.s. Note to mod: I've posted here as the chaps will have more idea of weight of Chloe. Move it though if you feel it necessary. Thanks.
