Just sold a dj mixer on ebay

What will be the easiest and cheapest way to send it ?

I could go the post office and send it off as usual, but was wondering what other options i have like TNT etc and where i would go to use a service like that

thanks

I think with the likes of TNT you need to have an actual account.

If you end up sending it parcelforce.. make sure it's insured. I sent my brother's Christmas pressies to Japan via parcelforce and they got lost. I found out afterwards they weren't insured

You could try http://www.parcel2go.com/

I've heard their name mentioned a few times but never used them before. I think they collect from you too and you don't need an account.

Parcel2go are as cheap as you get, but also apparently very unreliable, although i've never personally had a problem with them in my limited use

Couple of people I know have mentioned that you can buy parcel delivery vouchers for the likes of Fed-Ex/DHL cheap on fleebay

Parcel2Go use DHL, CityLink etc. I have never had an issue with them, saying that I have only shipped about half a dozen things with them.
