APOLOGIES IF THIS IS WRONG SECTION WASN'T SURE WERE TO PUT IT

Make sure you read the small print, some places wont deliver to commercial premises.

It cost me a fiver to send a hard drive to maxtor (Ireland I think) and it was insured, cant remember how much for though.

the missus ran it through there system at her work and it came up at £14 she could slide it through there some people do but dont want her doing in case she gets caught

Use the royal mail price finder. http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/Pr...ar=pricingcalc

I sent back a drive international signed for for and it was about £9. I am guessing you want the £500 insurance option which is why your getting prices of £15?

Or if you want to use a courier I use this company regulalry. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Worldwide-Parcel-Xpress-Ltd Their website: http://www.cicltd.co.uk/

The Germany service advertised is for upto 30kg but ring them up for a cheaper service as they should have a upto 5kg or upto 10kg service.

getting prices of just under £15 with £100 insurance as i want to send it 3-5 days max transit time


think i am just gonna have to pay out £15

[nickp8]

After £32 is goes straight upto £500 compensation that is why your getting a price for £15 for International signed for. I sent it with £32 insurance.

Your pricing results for a delivery to Germany weighing 900.0 gram with up to £100 compensation to be delivered in 5 Days are...

Service_______________Delivery ____Compensation Tracking Price
International Signed For From 3 days Up to £500 Within UK £14.24

You'll have to pay the £14, on eBay you can usually find cheap services. But I had a look and the cheapest is £17.25 to Germany, albeit with a real courier and upto 30KG.

was looking at pharos looks good but what does this mean >>

In Addition a surcharge of £3.00 will apply to any shipment not entirely contained in an outside shipping container, or a consignment that is packaged in metal or wood. Pharos will bill these extra charges direct to your credit card.

so in other words, if i dont have it in a container like a wooden crate, they will charge me £3?

[danroyle]

all sorted now cost £11 with royal mail took 4 days and didnt get lost so didnt need the extra insurance which bumped it from £4 to £11 now i just need western digital to hurry up and send out a replacement raptor and i'll be happy

No, it means it has to be boxed up and NOT in a metal or wood container.

They're expensive anyway, payperdrop on eBay use DHl and it's only £6 for most things.

[chunut]

Try DHL, or even FedEx.
