    Hi,

    Sold something to a buyer in South Wales who bullied me a bit about the €30 I was charging for postage (a guesstimate) to the UK so I dropped it to €24 and got €25 for the item including postage. The item is a used heavyweight outdoor horse blanket worth €150 new so this person has gotten a bargain.

    Anyway, went to the post office and the parcel is rounded up to 3kg and postage is €31. Parcel is 40x40x20cm. Is there a cheaper way of posting it? I can just send the money back and relist but I thought it would be good to know.

    I googled couriers to the UK and FedEx, DHL and Fastlane were all pretty pricey (not under €25).

    Thanks
