Insured parcel post help.

Recommended Posts

The OH has bought our daughter an expensive necklace (about 200 euros) for her birthday, and now we have to ship it back to the UK.  It is gift wrapped in a pretty but heavy box.

I am confused about the new regs for post in France.

The parcel weighs 450 grammes, and is sized 23 cm x 16cm x 4.5 cm.

Can we send this by ordinary post, but insured?  If so what do we ask for, and what packaging should we use?  I thought of a bubble wrap type envelope.

Many thanks in advance,

David [8-)]

Edited - managed to reduce the weight a little bit.

The staff at my local post office are most helpful and sell a wide variety of "approved" boxes, envelopes, packages etc.  They also know the correct inurance/ type of delivery service suggested dependent on value of contents, delivery urgency etc.

I'd try your local Poste out David.  (Lucky daughter!)
