I need something shipping to the UK from america, and UPS quote me $215 even with a smallish package with low value. Anyone got any tips on how to get it done cheaper? (MUCH cheaper!!!)
 
take it to the post office, how much does the item way in grams? whats its size in mm?
 
if it helps sending from the UK to the US would be £2.23 ($4) and an extra £3 ($5)
if you wanted it signed for.

this is using royal mail the run of the mill postage company
 
Yeah im in the UK, i just cant work out why the american companies quote so high. As jr2swiss has been shipping stuff to the UK i was wondering if perhaps he could lend a hand?
 
Not to put you off, But don`t forget customs (import duty).

I got stung for £50 for a Sony dvd+-wr (the first dual format available) from hong kong (There was a shortage in the uk), Which cost me £300 duty not included.

I also got stung for £30 for a canon powershot a40, Also from hong kong, Which ended up costing me more than it would have if i had brought it in Pcworld.

Be careful.
