Shipping rip-off from these UK guys

[amigakit]

The price looks right if you dont have a Parcelforce Business Account (if you are sending a one off parcel) - verify here: http://www.parcelforce.com/ (click on 'price a delivery').  Prices are based on volumetric weight.

However, there is an International Economy service (not trackable/uninsured) that is less cost again.

However the service the seller is using is a priorty insured service.

We have a business account with a couple of couriers so  costs are reduced because we ship regularly Stateside.

However this seller is sending a one-off parcel so he will pay regular joe-public pricing.

We have found FedEx to be expensive- DHL is the same as Parcel2Go and they are only cost effective if you ship volume with them.

Thanks.

We have a couple of pallets of unboxed CD32 units here from Eyetech so we dont need anymore ATM.

Only one A4000T - but keeping that to be used for back office work.

Just need to find time to unpack/test each CD32 and make them available on the web store.

The problem is that unless the parcel is non-literature (books/letters) then the limit that a Post Office can send is 2KG (4.4Ib).  Also there are size limitations which I think the CD32 box would exceed as well.

So a courier would have to be used.

If you dont have a business contract with a courier- the one-off parcel prices are accurate

What do you need?  Is it something that we stock?
