Default Shipping goods to Germany

Hi folks

Any recommendations for sending parcels to Germany in a reasonable timescale with acceptable balance of cost/risk?!

Looks like I'll be sending both cats from my car off for new internals, so they're obviously quite large components and I'd rather they didn't get smacked about too much......

Thoughts?!

Adrian

Fortunately, in this case, it's a completely different part of Germany otherwise I'd be really pee'd off

Company is based nr Stuttgart, so about 3.5-4 hours South of Dortmund

When do you need to send these? There's a (slim) chance I'll be driving to Stuttgart to visit my son, but it's unlikely to be be until at least mid-November...

I've used DPD via ParcelMonkey without problems.

I can highly recommend Transglobal Express. They can give you an online quote for various different options and couriers so you can pick what you want. Their customer service is excellent

+1 for Transglobal Express.

I've sent five 20" alloys to Germany using them before along with a couple of smaller parcels and always fast service, reliable and above all, cheapest.
