Best way to ship a small parcel within Europe?

Specifically Paris to Rome, and with insurance. DHL is pricey. Hoping for 3-4 day delivery. Has anyone used Ecoparcel?

Generally the postal system works pretty well.

My experience is 3-4 days is very optimistic when dealing with the Italian post.

Yes, that's what I've heard as well--sometimes weeks, if not months, to get a parcel and with no rhyme or reason.

Use the Vatican post office. It is considered more reliable and generally faster than the Italian pos office.

Jumingo allows to compare, find and book your "best" way to ship a parcel. Used them sometimes.
