I am trying to mail my old lap top to my father in the United States. I went to Qpost/EMS and they dont do insurance on their mail. I am not going to mail my laptop with out insurance. Ive called DHL and FedEx and they want way to much to send it. Any one have an idea about an affordable insured way of sending it. Thanks

Just contact any forwarder and ask him that u wanna send an old laptop for personnel use.

What u have to do is to pack it in a solid box...that's it!!

best thing to do.. send your father money, then tell him to get himself a laptop.. safe, faster.. small charges..

Most Affordable Way = QPost

Safest Way = DHL, Fedex etc.

Sorry Mazz, they want that much to guarantee it'll get there in one piece.
