Has anyone experience of sending stuff from the UK to Greece by parcel delivery companies? I have looked on the web but can't see to find anything suitable. If anybody can reccommend a company I would be grateful. Cheers!

I have a FedEx account but it can be expensive - however not as expensive as flying out there with the package yourself!
5kg costs around £53

The above is, like any other post here, only a personal opinion.
Here's another
So long as the human race breeds out of control and we all continue to buy cheap goods made in hideously polluting Chinese factories which, because of their appalling quality will need early disposal of as waste and thereby, replacement with yet more Chinese tat, none of us should complain about Global Warming. It's the truth but sadly, some are just too comfortable in our 21st century consumer existence to face up to it.
However, since I've now come to the conclusion that we, here in this country can do nothing to reverse this, I have decided to "Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Bomb"

For mainland Greece UPS was hard to beat a few years ago. Never tried the islands. Various speeds of delivery offered at various prices but all very expensive! However, they were very reliable in respect of delivery times and lack of damage. It is much better if you set up an account in advance but you can just telephone for a collection on a "one off" basis. I suspect that "one off" costs even more.

We use these guys,
http://www.interparcel.com/
they were cheaper than the contract rate we have, and basically sub contract to a major carrier, so the parcel is in DHL or Fed Ex hands and can be tracked, but you pay less than you would if you went to them direct.
We've had very good service from them.
