I am looking at the viability of regularly shipping parcels directly to customers in the UK and Europe. There won't be enough at one time to consolidate and each will weigh 10kg - although I can organise my sales unit to get the most economical rate around that level.

I need the most economical service where I can predict the approximate shipping time which, as I understand it, makes surface mail a poor choice - leaving Economy Air, EMS, DHL/Fedex etc plus maybe some ideas I haven't thought of. The goods in question will not attract duty at the destination and are not intrinsically valuable.

If anyone has looked at this issue recently I'd be grateful for some advice.

Surface mail to Europe is the best option but take a long time

I have been sending a lot of parcel for my own bussines and the time it took has always been betwenn 45 - 52 days) ( 7 weeks)

Very reliable and cheap more than 50 parcel in one year and not one lost or arrived later than 55 days
