cheapest option for sending a parcel or parcels back to the uk??

[Guest libbysmum]

Hi all was just wondering whatthe cheapest way will be to send back a parcel or two to the uk. If i package it all together will probably be a little short of 5kg, or i could separate it into smaller parcels if feasible?

 

Any guidance welcome please

It's based on weight and size, so - my thoughts are - not completely 100%, but I reckon a few smaller packages would suit you better.

I've used interparcel and parcels2go in the uk to send out parcels ,they use the big company's but it seems cheaper than going direct .there is an Oz website

I send many parcels around 5 - 6kg to UK and Europe. I think you will find it is cheaper to send as one parcel, if you use Australia Post.

I use their International Express Parcel Post, which costs about $5.50 on top of International Airmail Parcel postage, but this gives me a tracking ability, and after losing some parcels, especially around Christmas, I prefer to have the comfort of seeing it travel. I have not lost one in the last five years using that method.
