David Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 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.

Ian Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 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.

BJSLIV Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You need to use Colissimo International.If you pack it yourself it will be 15Euros plus the insurance say 18 Euros in Total. Or you could use one of their boxes, probably a bit on the large side, for 25 Euros plus insurance.http://www.laposte.fr/IMG/pdf/Depart_de_France_metropolitaine.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
