Default Re: Best/Cheapest way to ship from the UK to the US

as with hippee these are one of the best firms, they basically give you a quote on different couriers

me personally have sent many big ass boxes to usa etc including crysis nanos, bordelands loots etc etc, hell i even sent a 14kg box just last week, cost ?60

the problem here in uk is royal mail is the best for 2kgs and under, anything over that gos into parcelforce territory which is crazy, thats when the couriers are best option

example, i send something to usa at the post office its

1999 grams it cost 28.80gbp tracked
2001 grams it costs 37gbp no insurance (useless), cheapest tracked is 63.67gbp

so for 2 lousy grams of weight it more than doubles the price

like i said i sent 14000grams for ?60


hope this helps but the way i word things, probably not
