Morning all,
My nightmare of a brother has dropped this in my lap, the weekend before he’s due to emigrate, he discovers his missus has ‘too much stuff’, and has asked if I can price a courier for the additional suitcase. Weight approx 20kgs, 70x50x40cm.
Prices of the usual suspects (DHL UPS, FedEx etc) are eye wateringly high, £200+.
Can anyone recommend a courier or share any tips?

Thanks in advance.

Try parcel2go.com. Just put in your details to New Zealand and a 3 day FedEx service is coming in at £141.

There are a few more companies out there like this offering good discounts whilst using reliable couriers.

yeah that’s more like it! Thanks…

try transgobal express, they’re good for Australasia I find?

It also sometimes cheaper to split it into smaller parcels, bizarre as it sounds!

Might be worth seeing what the excess baggage charge is on the airline they’re flying with?

http://www.excess-baggage.com/ ? Although I heard that they’re really crap on price, despite the name and “specialisation”.

I also heard (second hand, so…) that the airlines (maybe even the airline they’re already flying with) will take items as cargo cheap.

smaller parcels (>2kg each) surface post will be the cheapest way to do it.
