Anyone know of or use a reasonably priced forward shipping company from the UK?
Every company I have found uses couriers such as Fedex, DHL etc which are pricey.
I'm after one that uses Royal Mail but none of them offer this option.
Also needs to be able consolidate vinyl records to ship here.

I have just signed up for this....

looks similar to a US one I use but have been toying with idea of a UK forwarder for a while due to bike parts restrictions that are in effect from chainreaction and some other UK based resellers that have massive restrictions on certain items due to contracts in Australia... yet those same Australian agents WONT order in the items needed and other items are 'taxed (aussie markup) massively to protect their lucrative high sale price......lol...

Had looked at that one but using couriers once again. If using Royal Mail, it's about half the price.

For example: 30x30x10cm 1.8kg parcel with tracking
DHL Express = £41.09 + GST = £45.19
Royal Mail = £22.95 + GST = £25.25
A huge $40 AU difference.

If I go unsigned, it drops down to £12.95 plus GST!!

Each parcel I can only bring in 9 records at a time so hence requiring reasonably priced postage.
Issue is no forward shipping company seems to use them.
