Default Posting and Couriers in Mallorca

Having recently moved to the island, I have a number of items I need to sell on eBay.
However my local post office seems not to have any parcel tariffs they can give me, and in the research done so far the only international couriers I have been able to find online seem to be DHL & UPS - both eye wateringly expensive by comparison to UK couriers.
Can anyone please recommend any alternatives ?
The nearest depots (DHL) found so far are in Marraxti, and as I live near Inca not exactly local ..

If anyone can recommend a well priced reliable company I would be prepared to travel to Palma weekly as I suspect that may offer more options.

All ideas welcome !!
Thanks in advance.
Stephen

There's "paket azul" up to 2kg. I believe it's a flat rate within Spain.
International rates are a different animal, and specific to size and weight, and varying import rules in the final destination.

DHL and UPS have databased all this data and have a predictable scale based on those parameters. Correos most certainly can give you same data, but as they really aren't particularly focused on competing in the international space, its probably just harder to get.

Get in touch with Webbs

Removals to Mallorca - Webbs International Removals — The Specialist Mover to Mallorca

They do a massive box from the UK to Mallorca for £25 Im sure they will do something like the other way.

They come over to the island every week from Ramsgate

Not sure about prices but I did use this company last year and they had pretty good service. They're on Carrer d'Andrea Doria.
