In this case I would suggest using parcel force. The standard service is
cheaper than first class mail with a 30KG upper limit so will suffice for
this. Depending on how many kits are in a batch it is also paying the extra
quid or so for the better loss and damage cover for multiple kits.

There isn't much price difference for single kits but it needs to go at
least recorded delivery to get £27 of unsurance. RMSpecial Delivery
(formerly Registered) would give additional insurance if required and first
class service was ppreferred over an upgraded ParcelForce service.

Mark.
