how to send a parcel from Sweden?
I'm a student from Uppsala University, who is leaving the country in 10 days, I desperately need to send some of my stuff to Russia with Posten, their web-page, however, is not helpful at all! Bottom line, if anyone has ever sent a personal parcel from Sweden by Posten, please, please,share your experience. HELP! I would greatly appreciate a piece of advice. Thanks in advance PS Unfortunately, I don't speak Swedish.

If what you're sending weighs less than 2 kgs, send it as a letter (brev), it's cheaper. If it weighs 3-20 kgs, send it as a parcel (postpaket). If you don't have any suitable packaging, any sub-post office (Postombud, usually at supermarkets) sell a blue cardboard box to send the stuff in, which could also give you cheaper postage, particularly for parcels weighing from 10-20 kgs. The box itself costs 31,- but it may be well worth your while. I usually go to one of the Business centers (Posten Företagscenter) even for private parcels, because their staff know more than the sub-post office staff about any customs rules or regulations that may apply for foreign (non-EU) parcels. They serve private customers, too, and should be able to advise you properly in English. In Uppsala, you'll find them at Kungsgatan 66, Skolgatan 8 and Rapsgatan 8.
