The parcel is a gift to a friend valued £44, 3.5kg and has figures, plush toys, chocolate, rock candy, books mostly.
I tried sending twice through Royal Mail but it failed Anpost customs for either wrong commodity codes or the post office putting £0 on a value (the returned parcel says £1 so???)
I can't keep failing and losing the shipping money and I'm out of ideas.
I tried checking UPS but they have a £52 brokerage fee (on a £44 valued parcel) and all the other postal services don't allow confectionery/chocolate...
Please help out a stressed person who is close to giving up, like what do I even do I'm pretty desperate and not sure how to get it through without issues
