sending a parcel to the UK

I'm sending a bunch of books to London. How do you feel about Aramex? How about using DHL? I've been to their respective websites, but couldnt find any useful info - do I need to set up an account, how can I do it?

I would just go to any DHL counter, for example in MOE, or the one at Festival City, with the destination address, including the postcode and off it goes.
You don't need an account unless you will need their services regularly.

Aramex is just as good as DHL. But why not use Emirates Post? It's not bad. I sent a parcel a few days ago, small sized, like a shoebox, containing some gifts - I used the post office at Al Rashidya. The price for the EMS service (fast post) was AED 120 up to 1.5 kg. DHL would have charged me well over AED 600 for that.
