Was charged 25 quid to send a 2kg parcel to Holland, by the cheapest way, no insurance or tracking. What a f***ing rip-off.

To send the same parcel from Holland to UK via TNT, with tracking, and 500 Euros insurance, would be 13 Euros.

Roll on privatisation !!!

Strangly they were the cheapest way to send a 6kg motorcycle wheel from UK to Norway last week at £24.95, by over £20 & Fed EX wanted £58!

How big? As Royal Mail International Signed for at 2kg is 14.99 to the Netherlands I'm guessing it was oversized.

rant fail. you found out how much tnt charged to send the same parcel back, but they weren't any cheaper to send out, or you didn't check?
