How do you guys send heavy packages (in this case a 16mm print of about 6 or 7 kg) from the UK to Europe (in this case Germany). I had a look at the prices charged by Parcelforce and DHL. Both charge about £35 pounds for it. I think this is very expensive (the other way around is quite a bit cheaper). Are there any cheaper alternatives. Slow is ok.

Hi Rob,

35 Pounds (about 50 EUR) ==> Double [Eek!]
The other DHL way is really cheaper, "only" 22 EUR.
Why the difference? [Confused]
