Hi,

I’m looking for the way to send, a 12m to France.
If it’s possible a cheap and secure way, please.

I send kites virtually daily, its simple/ before going to courier firms, check out what the post office can offer they quite often have deals. Pack it nice and tight and get it into the smallest box ya can.

I'd pretty much agree with what Shem says. I too post out kites on a fairly regular basis. It is best to pack them as small as possible, as the courier will charge according to volumetric size. The more space it takes up, the more you will be charged, even if it doesn't weigh a lot.

DHL is pretty good. Royal mail internationally signed for is also another option, but not sure how much your particular kite would cost.

Thanks for your help

Do you have an idea for the price, like 25£ or more 40£????

Without knowing the exact dimensions and weight of your kite, I wouldn't know exactly how much it would cost to send. I guess your looking at between £30 & £40 to France though.

Ok, thank you for that jaymo!

It's the kite only without bar, more exactly is a takoon skoop 1 11,5m.

I wish send this kite to a friend because I will receive soon a Airush reactor, and I will not use it anymore.
