It’s certainly postable! The Mac Mini is quite small, and I can imagine that it would happily survive the Royal Mail after being smothered in bubblewrap. The Mac weighs about 1300g, and the power supply about 800g. Adding these together puts us in the 2kg—10kg price range for Special Delivery, which is a rather eye-watering £21.65.

Posting the Mac separately from its power supply would give postages of £8.65 and £6.70 with Special Delivery, totalling a still pricy £15.35. Looking at ParcelForce, their express48 with additional insurance would cost £18.

Don’t know whether those prices are ok for you; I’m open to suggestions for most cost-effective ways of posting it (assuming they have tracking and insurance).
