Anyone know a site where I can get a (near) exact price for posting to
Romania without having the actual address? For an Ebay sale. Needs to include insurance and signed for costs. The RM price finder one is down. All the ones I've tried don't say what the insurance and recorded delivery extras are until you actually book it. -- *I wish the buck stopped here. I could use a few.

Sometimes they are not as expesnive as you might expect... Most of the main ones have full online pricing and booking facilities. -- Tim Watts |

If true I'd recommend an alternate carrier. Indeed. However the beauty of RM to me is I can simply take the parcel to a convenient local post office. Not have to wait in for collection or go miles to an alternative's depot. -- *OK, so what's the speed of dark? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

That's OK if it's a local Post Office and not a Post Office Local http://www.consumerfocus.org.uk/poli...ound-briefings /post-office-local Our local one has morphed, and now won't handle cheques, bank paying-in, many overseas parcels and most of the other things I and aged relatives used a post office for. I remain amazed as each new peak is achieved in the mismanagement of this hallowed organisation. -- Bill |

Exactly! If true I'd recommend an alternate carrier. Indeed. However the beauty of RM to me is I can simply take the parcel to a convenient local post office. Not have to wait in for collection or go miles to an alternative's depot. There are many high street agents for the big (and smaller) carriers, franchised printers and mailbox providers are usual suspects. One of our team used them in the past but no personal experience. Same prices but greater convenience and from memory they were agents for a few and so were able to offer whichever carrier was better for given sizes and weights. -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |
