Posting Heavy Stuff to the UK!

Does anyone know the cheapest way to send heavy parcels to the UK? A friend of mine is going home with too much for her suitcase.

Airfreight, door-to-door. It'll cost you, but at least you won't have to go through the customs clearance, declarations, et cetera if you seafreight.

My sister once went crazy shopping at Chatuchak (her comments: 'Everything's so cheap!!'), I don't think she's in too much of a hurry to do that again...

one of the guys here in Singapore got a large gas barbie sent from Aussie as unacompanied luggage he had to take it to the airport in Aus and pick it up from Changi a few days later.
was not a bad price at all .
not sure if this is available in thailand but im sure it is.

Some airlines offer this sort of service where you can check in large amounts of baggage at the airport in advance and have it flown at air frieght rates instead of as excess baggage, which makes it a lot cheaper.
