Question

I bought a lovely umbrella in Camden town, but unfortunately the extra-check-in for the journey London-Rome (Ryanair flight) of an umbrella costs 35 POUNDS!!!It's so crazy!!!So I'd like to know how to solve the problem by Royal Mail, beacause the extra-check in is so much expensive!!!I'd like to know the price with the chipest kind of conditions service on responsability of the receiver.
Umbrella size: lenght= about 1 meter, weight= between 500 and 1000 g)

The best parcel rate to Italy by Royal Mail is Small packet rate but the length stops it going at that rate . Next rate is Global Economy and I think that will be about £23 if the weight is 750g

Courier services such as DHL , Fedex etc will be much the same

You can bring your umbrella up!

Answer 3

The attached weblink gives prices for small packets (if it is less than 90cm). Otherwise ask at any UK post office - they will be able to give you the correct advice. There are a number of options and they can help - it will certainly be less than £35!

Answer 4

Don't use the Royal Mail.

Use UPS or one of the other courier services, they take better care of it - it may even pack it safely if you go to a UPS office.
