Hello,

I am currently working in the UK and have to send a parcel to Belgium, what would be the cheapest and easiest way to do this? Can I just pop in to any post office and have my parcel sent to Belgium, or do I need to do it via parcelforce? I have checked their website and it's not exactly clear as to where I can drop my parcel off?

A pickup is not possible for me since I work on an offshore wind farm and we only come in for bad weather.

Thr parcel I wan't to send measures 50cm by 50cm by 30cm and weighs no more than 10kg.

Regards, Christof.

Perfect, so any royal mail post office will be able to help me? Problem is I haven't got a car here so I don't want to be walking all over town with my parcel Very Happy Very Happy

Yes Chris, just walk in they'll weight it and then more than likely give you several pricing options for you to choose.

Chris here we go. These prices are for up to 30kg, so as yours is 10kg it will give you a rough idea

Another service that others have used is http://www.interparcel.com/ . They use standard couriers and will collect from you.
