Default Freight for one flat pack box

Hi, after some advice please.

I have a small dilemma where my container is due to leave next week and yet one part of my furniture order is still on a 4-week delay

I'll have to send this later but was wondering what the most cost effective way of going about this is - also any recommendations?

The package will be flat pack, 35kg, 67x65x62cm

I'm just worried the freight will cost me more than the item itself! However it's a nest of tables and matches in, so I'm reluctant to leave it behind.

Maybe have a look at various shipping and airfreight options. It might well get very expensive though. I did find that airfreight can sometimes be cheaper than shipping depending on the size and weight.

I recently airfreighted 16kg from the UK to the USA-cheapest I could get was £75, but it was something a bit bizarre that I really wanted

Hi, have you tried Voovit.com? I think that they send one box for £140. We have used them in UK for sending stuff from home to daughter's Uni but never international freight. Anyone have any experience of using them for this?
