Default Parcel to Russia

I need to get a quote to send a smallish 2 kg parcel to Russia, specifically to a weird address in Republic Bashkortostan, which I think is one of the Federal States.

I have one from Fedex for £90 with 2 week delivery but any other suggestions?

Parcel2Go don't want to know.

I have used DHL to send stuff abroad before and the service was excellent, not too Russia though. Good luck.

Thanks for that. Certainly a better price than Fedex. It's just that ParcelForce have such a lousy reputation but may be I should reconsider. David

I used parcelforce to send a thinkpad battery to a guy in Moscow, cheaper than i thought and it arrived pretty quickly.

Thanks but have you ever tried to claim for an insured item with Royal Mail which went missing?

I lost a £400 pack which I sent to Namibia (probably nicked at Johannesburg) and put a claim in with all supporting evidence. 18 months later and after many letters I got back about £100

Odd that you suggested Parcelforce in Post 3 as they are part of Royal Mail?


"Parcelforce Worldwide is a trading name of Royal Mail Group Ltd" (wiki)
