    I always use Parcel2go, but Staples DHL service is very good too, and cheap

    How much does this normally cost? I'm thinking about selling my laptop on ebay but might just sell it cheap to someone in my family to save the hassle.

    i normally use parcel2go. but after reading there extensive not covered or insured list you might be better looking elsewhere, as all i think is covered is a marshmellow wrapped in bubblewrap and sealed in a bubble of love

    I wish I used Staples now too because I had no end of trouble with a week.5 delay on an Amp I posted which I sold on eBay recently. Damn Citylink :/

    I would happily use Royal mail special deliver. Maybe not the cheapest but guaranteed next day with at least £500 insurance.

    Royal Mail have always been good to me, like above says, not the cheapest, but resonable price, fast, recorded delivery - and insurance options.
