Advice re intenational couriers from Brighton UK

[motorollin]

Postage from the UK is ridiculously expensive. A while ago I sold some boxed Amiga apps to a guy in Aus, and I was getting quotes of about £80 for shipping. IIRC the package was about 3kg, so your quote of £120 was probably about right. In the end I split the package up in to three different packages, the combined cost of which amounted to less than the cost of the single large package.

Was the package you got sent from Ireland from Northern Ireland? If not, it won't have been from the UK so probably wouldn't be comparable to UK shipping prices.

Edit - re. couriers, unfortunately I couldn't find any which were any cheaper than Royal Mail :-(

Might be cheaper to have it shipped to Southern Ireland and then on to Aus ;-)

For £130, you could probably pay me to get a ferry to Ireland, intercept the package, and send it on to you :-D
