Interested to hear from folk who regularly ship throughout Europe and what couriers they use.

We're looking at shipping small'ish boxes on a daily basis. 1kg up to 25kg.

Looking at specific couriers, UPS is so blooming complicated lol. Prices on Transglobal seem very good and we've used them on a couple of occasions. They seem to get decent pricing so could be best option?

Did you look at UPS small business? Fairly easy to use, I ship stock with them from EU to UK. Not the fastest of deliveries but much cheaper than Fedex offered me. I found Transglobal confusing and they would not even (strangely) advise on the phone.

Just looked at their main site, I'll have a look at the link thank you. Initially UPS seemed much cheaper on Transglobal but it wasn't clear. Many thanks.

on that small business site they give 10% off on Fridays

Lol, just noticed that.

I ran a quick quote, UPS came up at £33, Transglobal was £57+. The UPS quote didn't ask for weight though, I assume that goes in with details? Maybe the size I chose allows up to a certain weight.

you just select size band. I'm sure I have seen somewhere weight is up to 20kg, oversize band is up to 70kg.

I had shipment weighing 27kg for £18 from Poland so they don't seem to check that anyway

Just reading the small print and it does look like 70kg, this will make a big difference to my quotes. Now I have to see if they'll entertain a 30 day account lol.

Yes they should be able to. My neighbours have that set up. I just pay on card. Register on website for an account and they email you with DD form to complete
