OK - cheers, Chris - I've found the calculator. Unfortunately, it
seems I'm stuck with Parcel Force as the calculator told me
the maximum airmail weight for small parcels is 2kg -
and the 8480 space shuttle
weighs around 2.5 kg. (I can't believe I just took one into a sorting
office and said 'can you weigh this lego set for me please') :)
At least that means I'm free to put in a little note saying 'here's your
Lego set' which strikes me as far more friendly than just getting a
package with set and nothing else in it :)
What about the unsolicited gift thing. Has anyone else had any problems
with customs if you don't write that on a packet?
Thanks!
Simon
