I have sent things to UK, via post office, and all arrived no problem. The only two times I ever used one of those postal services from the card shops the parcels went missing.

Fuengirola post office is the one I use, so hope all goes well with your delivery.

John, You might try Ebay, as sometimes there is a van returning to the UK with spare capacity.

Not very big, sort of A4 type size, only a few euros, sorry do not know weight, you could always take it in and see how much

I constructed a earlier thread about sending a 620gram item back to the UK, well by Correos is close to 13€, to send it from the Uk is about a fiver
