Default Sending items to UK

Hi, My son is heading back to the UK in March and wants to take his computer, monitor and speakers.

Anyone sent a few things back? Who did you use?

Thanks

Carole

Put them in his suitcases and pay the £35 for an extra case....assuming an LCD monitor. Wouldn't think it would weigh more than 23kg so would be 1 extra case in effect.

I've no idea what that means but I'd check the weight, even the PO shipping to the UK (esp if it is heavy), will cost a fortune AND you will need to declare a value and pay import AND VAT and charges on it before it will be delivered in the UK...

We shipped 4Kg with NZpost, cost nearly $100 in shipping and £40 in charges and duty in the UK...! Cheapest shipping you will get is the first extra bag at £35 with Air NZ
