Yes I have sent a couple, Bulgaria & luxembourg both by royal mail , they only offered a standard signed for post and it took 3 days for arrival.

I have had a small package going backwards and forwards from the UK over the last month or two with no problems at all. Post arrives here from the UK much quicker than the other way round.
Now I've said that, they will no doubt lose the damned thing now it's finished

Unfortunately I've never not had an issue with sending bits to Euro countries using RM
BUT I have used Interparcel and ParcelMonkey and they've been faultless (UPS, DHL and MyHermes) - Ideal as you can select to use a drop-off service where you do the work and then drop it off at the local store that provides this service, saves you having to wait in for the courier then!
Just sent a mobile to Germany today using the MyHermes service and sent a few sets of interconnects last week and a few old DAC's using the UPS service, all with zero issues and easy tracking all the way
