Guest Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Check sites like Seven Seas as they do per box (with a weight limit). You'll get given a quote when you do the online selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your help I'm looking for the same thing, well to ship a couple of boxes with my work suits and other things (thanks to the pathetic CPX baggage allowance). I did check the SevenSeas website but the delivery times were double digit days and I was looking for a 3-5 day turn around. I found this site (https://www.transglobalpremium.co.uk/quote/) which seems to give better turn around times and the cost isn't so bad. Depending on the number and dimensions of boxes being set. What I like is they do door-to-door. So they can pick up and deliver right to you. Of course the "gotcha" could be any costs at the other end thanks to customs and what not -but worth a try.

Hello I have just looked on the link and I asked for a box.... 60kg 60cm X 60cm X 60cm full of tools to be shipped to Australia and got prices from....£216 with UPS they say there may be $165 charges at the customs but I think this is very reasonable if it is correct....

chubbs75 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Someone said that he shipped 21 kg of tools insured for £600 by parcel monkey for £95. I think that's quite good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's quite good That does sound good but I would need around £3000 insurance for mine.... does you know if it goes up much for a higher insurance....?

cki2011 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 That's a question I can't answer I'm sorry. I have just looked on Parcel Monkey and it is reasonable until you go a little heavier and bigger with the box (70kg 60cm cubed) then it is nearly as much as a move cube....
