A question from England! I want to get something sent from a friend's private address in Oregon 97060 to the UK. Weight is 5 pounds. Is anyone able to tell me the lowest price to mail to England from West Coast USA, please? The friends I will be getting an item sent to inside the US, are away and I cant ask them. Can u help??

A shame that even USPS no longer seem to offer anything that is specifically “surface mail”, ie by sea.
On arrival in Europe we have to pay import duty on the “landed cost of the goods”: ie, including freight cost & all charges. A private individual (companies can claim it back) then pays tax on the total, ie cost + freight + duty + charges. With a high cost for unnecessary airfreight these “extras” soon become horrendous and in some cases can exceed the cost of the goods themselves. Shipping to Europe (& elsewhere) the 3 golden rules are cost, cost and cost. Speed is irrelevant: who cares if it takes a month, as long as it’s as cheap as possible. Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to penetrate to the likes of FedEx and UPS. |
