    Cheapest way to send 2x15kg boxes

    Got 2 boxes need couriered to me. Each wieghs 15kg and approx 4.84 cubic feet. Parcel2go would want £60ish as its counted as pallet(over 4 cubic feet).
    One box needs £350 insurance.Other about £100.
    Anyone know any hceap methods, i suppose 2 standard parcels is possible.
    @ £15ish each.

    Royal mail standard parcels - under a tenner each

    Then 60p for 100 quid insurance, and maybe 2 quid for 500 quids worth of insurance on the other, both shud be under 25 quid... just gotta lug them to the post office !
