Sending small business parcels from UK to international - which courier do you use?

Hi all, am running a project soon that will mean I have to ship a lot of parcels all across the world. Probably 500g - 1kg max. Mostly to the USA but some to Aus, NZ, Europe, rest of the world. Value around £50ish so will need some insurance and tracking.

Does anyone have any particular courier they recommend both for competitive price, reliability and speed, with tracking?

I see Royal Mail looks ok - am wondering if there is something a bit less expensive that's just as good?

Would welcome any feedback on all the different services you use and if there's one courier that suits a certain country best let me know.

Thanks so much!

I use royal mail.
Have you checked the requirements to have a responsible person in each country you export to depending on what you are sending?

I understand that is relevant to the EU is that right? Most of my products will be going to USA, but am looking into responsible EU person at the moment.

I use Royal Mail. Not had many problems over the years apart from during strikes, either here or the destination country.
