I had to post a gift to my friend in Austria today.

I checked with UPS for a quote – £82.73 in 3 days.

DHL charged £119.20

Post office – £36.32 – five day service.

I mean wtf?  It’s just ridiculous.  It seems the bigger couriers are only interested in huge contracts…small business they charge an arm and leg for.

Bizarre.  Saying that I am still waiting on a refund of postage for a previous parcel force shipment that went to destination and was returned?!?!?
