Give some very serious consideration to going and getting it yourself!!!
Just before Christmas I was urgently stuck to have some goods delivered out to me in Romania to arrive on the 27th/28th. I called on DHL and it cost me some 370 Euro + VAT to have goods worth less than that amount delivered to me (had to keep the customers happy though!). It took nearly 2 weeks, whilst the parcel sat around in Dresden, Budapest and god-knows-where-else over the holidays, and the end result was I didn't pick up the package 'til the 5th Jan. Not to disrespect DHL they DID get the goods to the local depot on the 30th of December but unfortunately I'd already left the city until the 4th Jan
A spectacularly expensive own-goal on my behalf!!! When I stopped hyper-ventilating I had a look at the airlines and realised I could have brought more than double the weight of more expensive items out, as checked-in and hand luggage, if I employed my lazy student brother to bring it!! Total cost to use him 120 Euros for the ticket, 50 Euros diesel to get him from the airport and deliver him back, and couple of nights out in the city over a weekend, no more than 80 Euros.
He's up for it the next time by the way!
