Personally, I would send anything valuable via Royal Mail, tracked service.

How old are the medals, FloraDora? If they are old they may be exempt but I had to pay a substantial amount for some gold jewellery sent from Australia. GST had been paid on it but I had to pay VAT and Customs Duty before Customs in the UK would release it.
I had enquired by phone and had an assurance I wouldn't have to pay anything by a Customs Officer but unfortunately that was not the case.

Anyone tell me please if there are import complications if we are sent some gold medals from Australia . I am thinking of tax . They are not for us but to give to a museum on behalf of someone living in Oz. The person has sent them off without first consulting us about them .

parcel2go are good. I use them to send things to Canada.

They will help you at the post office. We regularly send parcels to Australia, just a couple of minutes at the post office counter should do it.
