Thought you guys would know the best way to go about this

I have 3 parcels to send to Sweden - is it better to package them up and send as one big parcel or split it down into 2 or 3

I have 5 hardback books the metal part of an oil lamp (empty) about 60-70cms tall and narrow plus the glass part which is in a bucket with loads of packaging

Also which postal service should I use

I am clueless - thanks in advance

After Brexit the recipient must pay Swedish customs clearance and import VAT. Most likely 2-3 parcel is more expensive to recieve than 1.
