Easiest way to get someone to post a parcel abroad?

[GHA]

Say you've a small package waiting in the UK, is there an easy way online to pay etc so the person at the other end just has to print a label and stick the package in the postbox? Some options on the royal mail site but easier just to ask on here

You could check with myhermes as to cost. Pay online, print off a label, drop it off or have it collected.

I use DPD to send stuff to Spain that I can't take in hand luggage. Much cheaper and quicker than Royal Mail. You pay online and print off a label. Cheapest to drop it off at one of their local shops but they will collect.

Ask for their bank details and do a bank transfer for the appropriate cost. Plus a beer or two for being so kind.

But it's easy! Royal mail let you buy postage on-line using Paypal, and print your own stamp (including parcels, national and international). Do this, and email the pdf to your friends.
