UrbanPoet Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Royal Mail are cheap as chips, unless it HAS to be sent with a courier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sent small packages abroad using Royal Mail many times and had no problems, the risk is the same regardless of the company you use, just make sure it's insured.
