Default Shipping to the US

Anyone got any experience of who is best to ship stuff to the US, I know it won't be cheap, but I'm trying to get realistic quotes. I'm sending 3 rear lower valances for a newage to mates and although not too heavy they are big as obviously it's the same dimensions as the bottom of the bumper

can anyone help??

Cheers

Mike

Mega money..!

Weight doesn't matter as it's now based on overall size (shipping volume), so something like a valance is going to cost as much as a package weighing >20kgs..!

Try and google 'cheap uk to usa shipping', you should get a whole host of web sites with shipping calculators, but beware you will be shocked..!

I sent a windsceen for a Ford Anglia to Arizona a few weeks ago with the Royal Mail.It weighed 9.5kg and cost £98 to send Datapost fully insured.Posted it on Tuesday afternoon and it arrived intact at the buyers door on Saturday morning.Fantastic service and it gives you a rough idea of the costs involved.

I used Fedex to send a P1 spoiler to the US. Only place that would take it due to size. Cost the lad £150.
