International postage

[OneInEight]

So have been trying to build up an ebay business in the last couple of months and have been getting enquiries from overseas for postage costs. Anywhere I can find seems astronomical especially given my items are usually under £20.00. I have one this morning for a £5.00 item from Thailand for instance. So has anyone found anybody cheap (but reliable) for International Postage.

I don't know off hand a cheap couriour service but do be careful with who ever you decide to go with as so many of them do not have tracking systems in place once the item leaves UK,Thailand would be a no no for me.

Thanks. I have to say it did cross our minds that it is some sort of scam especially when the item is a bit faulty as this one (declared of course). We have shipped to destinations in Europe O.K. when the item is light. I just read on another sellers page that they would ship anywhere in the world for £5.00 and am just wondering how on earth that is possible without losing considerable money.
