What sort of size and weight are we talking about?

A couple of possibilities come to mind:

GB MR team are currently in Tassie.
I have a nephew in Victoria who might be able to help.

E bay have their Global delivery service.
E.G. I recently sold an item on the bay to some one in Italy.
The only postage I paid was too eBay global hub in the UK.
It then went from there to the address in Italy with no further charges.
It will even sort out any duty where applicable.
It may be possible for the seller (!) to list the whole lot on eBay.au as a buy it now.
I assume the Global delivery will work from Aus to here?
Just a thought
Tony
I think the UK has more in the way of global hubs than Oz does....& I hear the internal mail there is worse than in Canadia....

Still looking into possible options

Thanks for all the ideas so far
