if you have access to a company who have a contract with a courier company, you can ship these much cheaper.

They cost around 9.30 to send, however you will want to insure it for an extra £1. so £10.30

Special Delivery is £20.60, thats next day with tracking and stuff.

£3.95 VAT for next day delivery!? What DHL "service" is that on? Do you get discount as a business/account user?

£3.95 +VAT sounds a lot better than the £20~ I am paying to ParcelFarce!

Yeah we have a business account due to the volume. Its called DHL@Home. But there is a franchise courier called Fastway who charge £4.95 for next day too but you have to sign up to 60 packages minimum I think. Very good, very reliable.
