Hi everyone, 

This is a question really for the UK girls and boys ......  I am wanting to send a heavy-ish parcel to either Australia or Singapore weighing approx 6 kgs and the dimensions of the box
are 16" x 16" x 16"  (41 x 41 x 41 cms.).   I went to my usual courier via Interparcel and nearly fell off my chair when I was told the prices and that was before VAT and insurance had been added.  With the additions, we are talking over £120 which is crazy so I was wondering if anyone could please advise me as to a good reliable courier/source.

I can't use a smaller box and obviously I can't do anything about the total weight of the box.

Any help as to what other service I could use would be most appreciated.  Thank you!

Hugs

Prices from the here in the UK are completely nuts.  I sent a parcel this size using Parcelforce to a place only 40 miles away and it cost me nearly £22 for the postage.  Based on that, the charges quoted for Singapore and Australia would see cheap.  

I want the service to have tracking available though if possible plus the need for a signature the other end.
