Best way to get 2.5kg parcel from Portugal to UK
Hello all
I need to send a 2.5kg parcel ( set of bed linen - husband hated the colour) to the UK as economically as possible. But also fairly securely as it's worth £120.
What do people suggest and any ideas of cost?
Thanking you in advance.

I use CTT; some people say they lose things but I didn't have that experience.
Cost is about 10 per kg, I think you pay whole kilos so you'd be in for 30 euros.
Not cheap I'm afraid.

parcelmonkey.co.uk quotes less then £20 with dpd (chronopost.pt) and I had great experience of UK->Portugal delivery recently with them

I had a terrible experience with Parcel Monkey; twice the courier failed to show for scheduled pickup.
I won't use them again.
