Hi,
How many do you want? I have 4 of these. I would be happy to post to Switzerland - I can check how much the postage would cost you but let me know how many you want.

I'd take the lot actually. 🙄
Have quite a few and need some spares...
If you can find out it would be great, have an address in France if it's cheaper, but with brexit and all I haven't tried recently.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me,
I haven't weighed them yet but I can send Royal Mail 2kg for about £12 I think. Will get back to you when I get the weight and exact cost.
Regards,
Ian

Hello again, I've just weighed one (with original cardboard packing) and it's 1.2Kg so that means almost 5Kg total. Checked online parcels and they want between £50 and £60 - ouch!! I'll keep searching for better alternative - unless you can request pickup from your end cheaper?

Scrub that last fiasco!
Parcelforce Worldwide only seem to want £17.80 for 5Kg to France! - I'll parcel them up and see what they say at our post office - PM me with the France details.

Will do right now.

Check ParcelForce prices through uk.interparcel.com - I often find they are one parcel company that are often cheaper through a broker than an either going direct or through the Post Office.

Thanks GraemeC,
I just went through all their hoops (selecting parcelforce for about £14) only near the end to be asked for my EORI code - have to apply to the European Commission!
Went round to our local post office, asked for parcelforce service to France - certainly sir, that is £54 please.

So I give up - only selling now to GB

Brexit wins again!

That's because you put reason for export as 'Sale' so it thinks you are a company.  Any other option doesn't need this (gift/sample/personal effects etc)

 

I've never understood why it is so much more expensive 'over the counter'.

Thanks for that - must try again but might have another avenue to explore first.
