Cheap international parcel delivery ?

[tigler]

I need to return a faulty item to a UAE destination. They will only refund shipping upto the price they paid to send it, which was £29. Cheapest service I can find is about £60 !!
Does anyone know a cheap service.
I have tried all the usual suspects, Parcel Force must send someone personally with the parcel on a dedicated flight for what they are asking !! It's over the 2kg Royal Mail weight limit.

i use interparcel quite a bit, pretty reasonable so worth checking out their online quotes.

 

[tigler]

Already did, too high.

 

[jayg]

have you tried these? http://www.parcel2go.com/

type your details in the 'quick quote' part and it gives you a list of prices from different couriers.

worth a try if you haven't already done so.

 

[tigler]

Thanks, but one of the first I tried, £70 odd the cheapest they could do !!

I had a big problem with Parcel2go when I sent a parcel to The Ukraine.

i've only used them for uk deliveries via citylink, never had a problem.

[tigler]

[tigler]

Nope, £74.80. Thanks though.

I have this saved in my favourites, used it last year to send an item to Thailand..trouble is I can't remember which of the quotes I used saved it because it was cheap compared to other quotes...and it got there.

Looks like I'm not going to have any joy with this, that one is £85.50 ! Thanks though.

 

[the snooper]

is the items value worth a lot more then its going to cost to send back

 

[tigler]

Thats the problem, not that much difference at these rates !! Looks like I might have to take a hit on it, bar stewards !!

 

[the snooper]

cant be a reputable company or they would pay for shipping as its their fault

 

[tigler]

Their attitude is appalling, it's the last time they have any business from me ! It's an American company with a trading branch in the UAE.

 

[the snooper]

email their headquaters in the usa and give them what for

Tigler who is this 'Chunk'?
Chunkolini is slowly crawling back to health, the 10 mile cycle t work is hard work but knocking me back into some kind of shape.
International shipping is a real pain, also I find getting consistent quotes even from the same company a real bind.
Good luck with this one.

This might be worth a shot , but i expect its all market priced. I will say it does look like this co has changed hands since i used it, but at the time they did knock spots of all other co's i looked at.
