I am selling a frame, and as I am in Germany, I have a friend driving back to the UK next week who will drop it off in a post office, need to know roughly how much it will cost so I can agree a fair price with the buyer?

Parcelforce charged me £12.50 on last frame on 48 hour delivery via my local Post office. With insurance an extra £5-6 up to £500.

Better off with parcel monkey or similar. I was £15ish with full insurance the sat frame I sent.

PM lost 2 of my parcels last year and damaged a third, not a fan but I was maybe unlucky.

As its a friend taking it into a post office, it will have to be parcel force, they won't have time for messing around with other services.

I was going to opt for insurance as well, I think its well worth while and ensures no one gets ripped off/left out of pocket if it all goes tits up (hopefully).
