What is the cheapest way to ship something?

I have two bulbs that are under warranty and the customer support center said I should just ship them back and they would send me replacement parts.

I had a look at Aramex, but they want 270 QR to ship 2 bulbs that weigh less than 100grams each. Who/where should I go to?

They are racing-grade off road bulbs used as auxilary lights on cars... They came with a warranty which covers the bulbs, which have burnt out >:[

New ones cost around 800QR + shipping expenses

I took them apart and only the bulbs are burnt out, the housings and mounts are still in great shape. Each bulb barely weighs 60grams and paying 270QR to ship that BACK is completely pointless since the shipping cost of newly purchased lights (with mounts and housings) was 300QR.

I'll try QPost and DHL as mentioned (thanks garnet!)

Henry's answer was at least with some thought.

The other answers are horribly useless... I would have never seen the relation between 'underwear' and auxilary lights

You so funny man. Is this bulb cost you more than QR1000 !!! if yes than it is okay to ship it back. I think even the cheapest courier will charge you around QR200 also.

Mmmm unbelievable ..

It depends on which country you will send. The charge will always base on a minimum charge so it can come to that much.
