parcels to UK

[Kimla 3]

i grew up in Ramstein area and parents are retired in Waldmohr so i visit a few times a year as i work in Manchester. Mum used to send me many many care packages ... now with Brexit is all fooked up...  in UK i use Parcel2go comparative site. At moment they are helping mum get quotes for parcels 1kg and 2kg... i just wondered if anyone could recommend any comparative sites in Germany?

 

thank you all and stay safe -  Bleiben Sie in Sicherheit

mit freundlichem Grussen

I use DHL, prices are shown in the link below. You can complete the customs documents etc and pay online then just print it all out attach it to the parcel and drop it off at a post office.

okay. my mum said a shoebox size was about 30 Euro and that didn't make sense she said. i am assuming she went to Deutsche Post.

If the value of the contents is not high then a "Päckschen" for €8,99 or €13,49 (2kg)should be fine, if the value is high then I would suggest the higher cost of a "Packet" which has tracking and insurance up to €500 included in the price.
