Bet even at that price they'd still charge you an arm and a leg to either use online checkin, or not to use online checkin, which ever one you chose!?
Trying to get a quote to ship a nosecone to NI and saw shipley.com recommended on here. Just got an answer back with the first bid for the job. Guess how much?........
£25

Why? I thought NI was classed as part of the UK, therefore same rate (according to Royal Mail it is) so I would have thought that size and weight
would have been no higher than £25.
As much as I hate to say it, I would try RM and tell shipley to 'stick it'
I am, going with Parcel force. £12.55
Worth trying the tried and tested sometimes.

try interparcel. I had a BIG box of stuff sent to oklahoma for £40
Or do what I do when I get things shipped to Ogdensburg NY (one hour away): take an afternoon off work, and use the occasion to fill up with cheap high octane us fuel while there... You might not get the cheap petrol, but you'll have a nice trip to NI, which is beautiful.

midweek flights are only 1p from BMI Baby!
(of course, once you've added fees and taxes you can move the decimal point 4 places to the right!)

Sure, 4 points to the left = 0.0001p - thats cheapo!
<whistles> dont know what you're talking about, you must be mis-quoting me
Bet even at that price they'd still charge you an arm and a leg to either use online checkin, or not to use online checkin, which ever one you
chose!?
