i need to send a parcel to Australia
it needs to be signed for and have online tracking as well as being insured for £200

my guess would be to pop to the post office and see what they can offer but was wondering if you guys had any other ideas

oh and the package is small... about the size of a 5ml juice bottle

thank you please

I'd be inclined to make the parcel a bit bigger so it aint so losable & get some competitive quotes from couriers.
