Don't know if anyone is interested (recent price increase etc) but I just priced up sending a standard envelope type record mailer with two pieces of card and it is £8.80 to Europe Internationally Signed for.  First class £3.50.  Makes it expensive for a cheapie now.

Correct, and add a quid on for outside of Europe, sometimes more.

Signed for to Australia is now £10 for instance.

I agree that Registered Postage is expensive for cheapies, but First Class is still ok.

I've put this up a few times in the past but a handy quick and easy calculator to save in favourites.

 

Just put in the weight for correct cost (or estimated weight for a guide)

When I'm buying from Pete or anyone else from the UK, my rule of thumb is 'signed for' on purchases of around £30 and over, and postal russian roulette on anything under.

 

Have to say though that when I first moved to the Netherlands in late 2007, the service from the UK was dreadful. I've never had as many lost packages as I did for the first couple of years. Happily, the service improved considerably and I've not had a package sent 1st class go missing for ages.

 

Oops, perhaps I shouldn't have said that!
