I had a nightmare shipping the Alpha 3000-300s I offered on here a couple of
months ago. ParcelFarce were the cheapest but even then I ended up packing
and repacking the boxes several times to get the weight down. In the end I
had 2 boxes of about 24 and 17 kilos each, total cost ukp98.
Getting stuff from the US is going to be fun now that USPS have canned their
economy surface shipping service......(according to folk on the tekscopes
mailing list anyhoo)

Yup; royal mail only goes up to 2Kg; Parcelforce is their parcel
division, but they will only do up to 30Kg, and I just did an example
calc for 30Kg 50x50x50cm, which is cheapest ?145.90 ($290) and you
might need two.... Check the Royal Mail website and get a rate for a
surface parcel.
It seems I can only get rates for *mail* and not for parcels on their
web site.
