Posting abroad

Dec 16, 2011 10 Replies

Anyone know a site where I can get a (near) exact price for posting to Romania without having the actual address? For an Ebay sale. Needs to include insurance and signed for costs. The RM price finder one is down. All the ones I've tried don't say what the insurance and recorded delivery extras are until you actually book it.


Don't use the price finder.

Considered couriers? Sometimes they are not as expesnive as you might expect... Most of the main ones have full online pricing and booking facilities.

Ebay?

Romania?

Are you sure you want to do this?

international RM signed-for shipments ends when it leaves the UK. If true I'd recommend an alternate carrier.

Yes, I'd be even more doubtful. Paypal are notorious for clawbacks.

For RM, use the 'print postage' option but bail out before buying anything. It should give you all the details.

That depends on whether all your ducks are in a nice neat row:

Not much point in it, then?

Indeed. However the beauty of RM to me is I can simply take the parcel to a convenient local post office. Not have to wait in for collection or go miles to an alternative's depot.

That's OK if it's a local Post Office and not a Post Office Local

local one has morphed, and now won't handle cheques, bank paying-in, many overseas parcels and most of the other things I and aged relatives used a post office for.

I remain amazed as each new peak is achieved in the mismanagement of this hallowed organisation.

Exactly!

There are many high street agents for the big (and smaller) carriers, franchised printers and mailbox providers are usual suspects. One of our team used them in the past but no personal experience. Same prices but greater convenience and from memory they were agents for a few and so were able to offer whichever carrier was better for given sizes and weights.
