Naah, it works for Pakistan too but I think there is a weight limit of 2-3kg (I’m not sure on the exact weight). You just send it through regular mail and add a premium for the ‘Signed For’ and insurance part. The only problem is the no tracking part which is why I’d say go for a proper courier service.

Also, you can look at Royal Mail Parcelforce. Its pretty cheap too.

My packages have always been less than that in weight. I’m pretty au fait with Royal Mail shipping options since I’ve sold a lot of stuff on ebay in the past. I will check again but I had an argument at the PO the first time saying that the website says that this service is available for Pakistan but they were adamant that it could only go as a regular airmail packet.

Brummie, I looked at Aramex just now coz I was interested too and it costs £30 for 1kg to Pak. And that’s the normal DHL charge for a personal customer. Even from Pak, up to 1kg to the UK costs something like Rs.7,000. The only reason the vendors can do cheaper is because they either have a business account or they are going through someone else who has a business account.
Parcel force global value, which takes from 8 days costs £33 for 0.5kg and there is no tracking.
