Sending a package by air - recommendations
Hi all,
Our stuff is being packed up next tuesday ready for shipping by John Mason, however we have decided that we would like to send a box of photos etc, by air. The parcel will weigh about 25kgs and DHL have quoted £270!
Does anyone have any recommendations for sending by air?
Thanks

Send your photos by Special Delivery,(tell them its paper its cheaper!)
We got the largest box we could from the post office (the ones you build) put all my photos,cards,fridge magnets! etc in the box,used parcel tape to bind it up,sticky label. £67.
Fair enough it took about 10 weeks to get here
but we got it in the end!

Special delivery by surface mail, I assume?TOB, have you tried someone like Excess Baggage, or Seven Seas? They will do airfreight as well as shipping.
