Not only an it be expensive to send by Royal Mail, DHL, UPS etc, etc, there will also be expensive customs and VAT charges when they arrive at the destination. If the person who you send the parcel to cannot afford the charges, then you will have to pay them or the parcel will be sent back to you. The charges I had when I sent a parcel recently came to about 30% of the value of the items, so that with the cost of the courier came to just over 60% of the value of the items, but I have heard of people that have had charges that were more than the items that they sent were worth!
