I have built up a little bike for a xmas pressie for a friends son in Spain, just been checking out the cost to send it and TNT want the following!

9:00 EXPRESS 421.15GBP
10:00 EXPRESS 409.75GBP
12:00 EXPRESS 392.65GBP
12:00 ECONOMY EXPRESS 236.29GBP
ECONOMY EXPRESS 191.89GBP
EXPRESSPRIORITY 372.05GBP
EXPRESS 347.05GBP

It only weighs 6kg and is worth £50ish!

There was me thinking it might cost me £30ish?

Does anyone know of a reasonable priced courier I could send it with?

I'd maybe look for a service that doesn't have "express" in its name.

Royal Mail / Parcelfarce perhaps?

When I posted a frame to a guy in Poland a year or so ago, I used the 3 day service via dhl which cost me £42 inc insurance up to 350. Did it through p2go had had no problems.
It was the only service I could find that insured and tracked for a reasonable cost at the time
