Shipping to UK: how can something sound easy but be so hard?

Dear all


The challenge: get around 30 medium to small framed prints from Geneva to a Cambridgeshire address in the UK. Total weight around 40 kg, total volume less than one square meter.


- they have glass faces and have been told check-in baggage on an airplane may be too rough;


- too big for airplane hand carry but too small for moving companies?


- not urgent so time not important, but good handling of breakables is.


Any ideas?


Many thanks in advance!

I would use DHL, UPC to do this. They also have LTL (less than a truck load) road service. Thus it would not cost you an arm and legs.


For moving cos this may not be interesting but these courrier cos will definitely do it.


Unfortunately cannot recommend you smaller ones.


One thing is for sure - these ones also will do the customs export / import properly for you. So no need to worry.
