Subject: A little help w/shipping from the UK, please?
Any suggestions on a more cost effective way to ship
this? I suspect
the person got an air shipping quote and not something slower but less
expensive.
It recently cost me over $200 Canadian to ship a similar weight of magazines
and books from west central Canada to southern Australia by surface mail.
Check the Royal Mail website and get a rate for a surface parcel. That is
likely to be your cheapest rate. That UPS rate is very likely a surface
parcel too but courier rates, even for surface parcels, are more expensive
than the mail when you are looking at overseas shipments, at least in my
experience.
