Posting items back to the UK?
Hi all,
After over 9 months in Australia on a WH visa, I will be moving back to the UK.
I appear to have heaps more stuff than I came with.. Oops!
Does anyone know the best way to post packages back to the UK?
I have looked at Australia Post and its looking like approx $230 for a 10kg package. Would this be way higher than excess baggage costs with Singapore Airlines? FedEx etc also look in the region of $300-350 for a package of that weight.
I realise shipping is cheap, but I dont fancy waiting 2-3 months as quoted on one website!
Any advice would be fab. THANKS!
