Cheaper than Parcel2Go - their generic own courier (which is normally FedEx but waaay cheaper) is fully tracked - sent some hubs to the States the other day for £23 insured to £250 and they arrived in 24 hours :)

Yep - once you start popping in delivery details etc you can increase the cover (before you commit to buying the service). Always check both p4d and Parcel2go though as the cheapest schizz varies depending on item destination (ie, P4D is cheaper to send to the US than P"Go etc).
