Red face Package from UK to Canada, what courier?

Hello. I would like to know what courier I should use that won't destroy my package like they did (Fedex) to send a small package around 1kg to Canada without having any problems with Customs. Package is worth around 100 pounds, thank you.

What do you mean by problems with customs? So long as your item is not illegal, counterfeit ect you will not have issues. If it is either of these, then it doesn't matter which courier you use, you will have issues.

I myself use either Royal Mail, or FedEx for most my international mail. Never had issues with either.

If Fedex destroyed a package of yours in the past - go for UPS. Other than that, Royal Mail or EMS but you have to really pack it well for overseas shipping based on its fragility

RoyalMail (parcelforce) or DHL which is really good but can be very pricey! RM is the cheaper option!

DHL is not the best option if the package is small due to the price of shipping from what I see

Royal Mail would be your best option. Costs about £20 to send with £100 insurance. Insure it for what it would cost you to replace though, not what you've sold it for.
