    By sea it will depend more on the size than the weight - how big are they?

    The Royal Mail is very expensive these days. Each 16kg box would cost about GBP120, with no tracking.

    On the other hand, someone like SevenSeas will ship two tea chests door-to-door, with online tracking, for GBP120 total (i.e. half the price). (A "tea chest" is height 61cm, depth 51cm & width 41cm, so it isn't clear if the OP's items to be repacked to fit that.)

    Agree with PDLM. I checked and Royal Mail is more expensive than SevenSea.
