how well packed? Doubleboxed with bubblewrap or just a sheet of newspaper thrown in?

Value?

That's less than the magic 2000g, so Royal Mail Small Packets service should be fine.
Best regards, John

Small packet should be fine and depending on the service you use its between £15 Normal Delivery) and £20 (Airsure), DHL is about £19 plus VAT
Kind regards

Make sure you have it adequately insured - I've sent a total of two items to Spain using Royal Mail small packets and lost one of them.

I now prefer to use Royal Mail Airsure where possible. A quick look on the post office web site suggests that it is available in Spain, so may be worth a look if what your posting is of significant value.
