I need to ship a 14kg box of 29 comic books from the UK to Australia. Total value is about 147 GBP (approx. $230 AUD).
The book seller presently does not do international shipping, so I have to sort out a solution. I don't need them urgently so happy to wait for a slow surface mail option if it is cheap.
The approximate dimensions of the books when packed is 35cm X 35cm X 25cm (height, width, depth).
Does anyone know a decent but bargain service to get these books shipped?
how much are they on Booko?
Significantly more than what the seller is offering them for. They are Herge books (tintin etc) about 29 of them. 24 are hardback, the other 5 are softback.
The seller provided the following details regarding weight and dimensions:
For the 24 hardback books, which we separate into 4 parcels of 6 books and the rough weight per parcel is 3.1kg's. The combined weight for Jo, Zette & Jocko and Quick & Fluke is 1.3kg's, so the total combined weight would be around 13.7kg's.
The dimensions of a single hardcover is 22.6cm X 30cm and the depth of the thickest book is 1.15cm.
A company called VOOVit can ship the following size box for 65 GBP:
580 X 430mm X 385mm (External)
565mm X 425mm X 360mm (Internal)
Maximum load weight: 30kgs
However, would prefer to find a cheaper option if possible.
