Sending a package to Australia

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any advise on sending a package to Australia..

I am thinking about sending my video camera home so my brother can you it during his holiday in Jan.

Any advise on who I could use and how much it might cost..

Ive searched the DHL website and it told me it would cost about €150. There've gotta be joking right..

I send many packages all around the world with DHL.

Most importantly - what does it weigh?
Do you want it sent insured?

To give you an idea:

DHL "Paket" not "Air Freight" (insurance only to €60) up to 10kg = €52
Same Paket, by AIr freight (which includes insurance to €500) = €94

DHL Paket up to 20kg (not Air, insurance to €60) = €82
Same Paket, up to 20kg, with "Air", (insurance to €500) = €166

ask a stranger to take it

I replied to your pm should be no probs now I know its a camera and not 1kg of 1st grade herion, for that I would take it but sell before leaving

These days it would probably just be cheaper to order your brother a new camera.

Maybe some useful info here:
Shipping boxes to Australia from Frankfurt

And my own quote from this page:

Thanks guys for all your information..

€84 for 10-20kg has got me thinking about send some more stuff home...
(Saves carting it around the US... Next year..)

Any idea if you could pack it in a suitcase?

Aussie Steves a legend, he got my parcel home nice and safe in one piece.. I knew I could have faith in TTers.
