Default Cheap way to send things to Spain

Hi all!

I'm new here. I'm spanish and have been living in London for a while, and now I'm coming back home

The thing is I have to send a couple of things I've bought here and can't take with me in the plane.

The parcel would be something in between 30-40 kg, and I would like to know a cheap way to send it. I'm wondering if there is any cheaper company than parcelforce, I've found parcelfusion, but I've been reading opinions about them and everybody says it's awful, so I think I won't take the risk...

I thought maybe someone would know a cheap and safe way to send the parcel, I don't wanna loose my things, but I'm not really rich at the moment, so any saving would be great!

Thanks so much.

Un saludo.

What sort of things are we talking about here?
Are they things that you could split into several 20kg packages? and send into the hold as extra luggage?

Obviously not, I was thinking about the rising tide of violence and unrest in the already politically charged occupied territory of Tibet.

Do you think you could cause more mayhem with your "big thrusterII, "king of Post drivers""

Jajajajaja, thanks for the fast answer, they are just normal things I needed here, a printer, a lot of books as I was here studying, clothes... Nothing special, no porn, no drugs, nor my ex-boyfriend corpse...

They are just really heavy, and I need to send them. I can split them in several parcels, but I thought using a delivery company would be cheaper than paying extra luggage... I'm flying with Ryan Air, as I prefer flying to Valladolid, it's nearer where I'm from and it's easier...

I've checked this and sounds really good, I think you've sent me a pm, but I can't read it until I have three posts...

Ryan air should only charge the extra bagge price - I think thats around £15 per item of luggage upto 15kg - I'd guess this is your cheapest option??

You will find they charge total weight over your original 15kg as extra despite paying for another bag.

Yes, they charge 10 € per extra kg if your baggage is more than the 15 kg they allow you to carry...

Ive told you how to do this, so why you bothered about the other posts, email me or PM me, what printer you have, might be worth selling it or binning it anyway, if a inkjet it will leak everywhere anyway, they are the worse things to transport and cheap as chips to buy anywhere

How about trying a removal company that does part loads, but they will probably charge a minimum price of a square mtr.
