Default Cheapest way to sendparcel to Hong Kong

I need to send some baggage to hong kong for a friend of mine, just looking for the cheapest way if anyone could help...

It is just 1 parcel weighing about 10kg and measures approx. 50cmx30cmx30cm

Cheapest place i've found is about £70, air would be good, but sea would be ok if cheaper...

Cheers,
David

Deep sea at this time of year will take a looooooong time, but if you are in no rush then it should be cheaper.

sea would cost #200 quid ish and take three weeks and may go via singapore
try any freight forwarder in your region.
dont know where abouts you are ,and tell the you want it to go on a consol at the weekend, this will cost the forwarder around 22gbp plus the cost of your collection. you will pay in the region of 80.gbp.
but remember there will be charges to pay at destination for handling and customs clearance and delivery(but you shouldnt pay any taxes or duty)

failing that send it with dhl or tnt or fedex or similar expexct to pay around 100gbp
hope this is of some help

make sure you mate in hkg signs for it carefujlly or checks it out first
