    Can anyone advise on a cheap way to send a 20kg box to Ireland or the UK, can send it to either but don't suppose one is cheaper than the other.

    The cheapest air freight is $450. :eek:

    Anyone have experience of shipping a box? Approx how long would it take and could you recommend any company to do it. The box is in Perth btw.

    Have you tried Aus Post? Generally found them reasonable enough, but haven't sent more than 6-7kg at a time

    If you wanna go cheap by sea is your best bet!

    Am using sevenseas shipping

    Shipping 6 boxes of up to 30kg each but from Ireland to Adelaide, door to door quote is approx €500
    They have supplied boxes, bubble wrap, tape etc and do door to door delivery.
    Takes approx 77 days by sea from IRL
