    Hi,
    I purchased some hardware from dabs.ie recently ( A graphics card) and now need to return it to them and get a refund. They've indicated that their preferred carrier option is only available within the UK and therefore I must use my own carrier.
    Just wondering if anyone's got a recommendation for a cheap and reliable carrier to use .
    Need to get it back to them within 14 working days from today.

    Thanks

    hi , shouldnt really matter as i should hope they will be covering the cost...
    you could go with UPS as they would be fast........

    Just did a bit of checking rates.
    The package will be roughly 3kgs.

    An Post will charge €29 To send it by standard post .
    UPS will charge €41 for their cheapest service.
    Can't get rates from interlink site?

    Seems a bit expensive to me. Anyone know a cheaper option?
    The total value of the goods is only €200 so I'm trying to keep my losses to a minimum.

    Thanks for all the help !

    Ended up shipping it with An Post via registered post at a cost of €14.

    (Don't think this includes any insurance cover which possibly explains the discrepancies in price - so fingers crossed it gets there safely).
