My Travels Through Spain

I've lived in Spain for many years and have been enjoying travelling this vast country during that time. My blog looks at some of my favourite places in Spain and with, hopefully, some great top tips for you should you wish to visit them yourself.

International Deliveries May Cost Less Than You Think
Thursday, December 13, 2012 @ 7:03 PM

There was a time when sending goods from one country to another was prohibitively expensive, particularly to consumers. If you didn’t have the right contacts then your only real option was to queue up at the Post Office to have your parcel shipped overseas, and there was no guarantee it would arrive on time, if at all, without having to pay a lot extra for the privilege. And you could forget trying to send anything that you couldn’t carry under your arm into the Post Office, they just couldn’t cope with sizeable bulky items.

These days however times have changed and we’ve moved on. There are now fast international full service courier companies who will take your goods from you and carry them across the globe, keeping you informed of their progress at every step of the journey. These companies come to you, providing a full door to door service for maximum convenience, the sort of service that was traditionally only available to major companies who would be afforded such service on account of the high volume of business they gave these shipping companies.

Suddenly anyone can ship goods internationally, large or small, without even needing to sign up for an account or make any assurances of the number of times you’ll likely use the service. The world of international shipping has opened up to the little guy, and what’s more, it’s incredibly competitive.

I just used an online courier to ship a parcel to Spain from UK with Christmas presents for the family and it was unbelievably cheap.

There’s no need to get stung by the high rates of just one or two companies who might operate in your area, there are a whole host of courier companies who provide their services to customers across the UK, and these companies are all vying for your business, desperately trying to undercut one another in order to get each individual job.

We as consumers can play the big boys off against each other and reap the rewards of the best value deals on international parcel delivery. Whether sending Sandals to Siberia or shipping sweets to students in Shanghai, whatever your international delivery needs, there has never been a better time to take advantage of this competitive market. Get yourself a quote and see for yourself just how low prices can be, you might surprise yourself.
