OT - Shipping boxes via courier

[Fine Lines]

Hi all,

I need to ship some items that are currently in plastic storage boxes in my attic, to a relative in Newcastle. Is it easier to do this via courier or Post office etc ? Im guessing I would have to transfer the items to proper transportation / shipping boxes ?

any help would be great. thanks

A courier would by fair be the safest bet.

Stack the plastic boxes on top of each other, duct tape them together, then wrap them.

I'd go for a more reputable courier firm like DHL or FedEx. Estimate the weight and dimensions of the wrapped boxes and get a quote from the courier.

Hermes is by far the cheapest. They do collection as well as deliver.
