Check out Parcelflight - it mainly depends on the insurance amount you want on the bat which bumps up the price but it's around £35 for one bat I believe, when I sent bats to aus they were always delivered within a week and never had any problems with them.

Thank you, just got a quote for £42 on their worst service and lowest insurance.
Still not too bad.

Cheers

How about sending 2 bats? Obviously the weight would go up but would the dimensions of the box go up too?

Try UPS - I sent a bat to Oz with good insurance and they text me when was delivered. It cost about £40

How much would sending a full kit cost?

Absolutely no idea - it's all done by box dimensions although £40 for a bat was for me as a private sender - I assume that business account holders receive a discount(?)....

We use DHL, costs us £32 + £3.90 insurance.  Gets there in 5-6 days.  We charge our Aussie customers £35 to cover this.
