FYI, DHL has interesting flat-rate offers for consumers across at least
some European countries, e.g. taking your example of shipping from the
Netherlands to the UK the rates are ?10.00/?15.00/?20.00/?26.00 for a
chunky parcel of up to 2kg/5kg/10kg/20kg respectively. More details and
other destinations at: <https://my.dhlparcel.nl/pwa/shipment/package>.
For the US destination this does indeed look somewhat less attractive
though.
Please note DHL operates country-specific sites and offers vary between
countries; look for "Document & Parcel Shipping".

If I needed
one of those drives, I'd be willing to pay $1 / GB plus shipping
and handling if they were known to be good. (If I needed them) I would buy
them sight unseen if you ran SpinRite level 2 on the drives and said they
passed.
As a guideline, PostNL quote ?18.20 (?USD20.50) for its single grade of packet
post to "world". The 2kg weight limit is good for two or three typical
3.5"
hard disks of around 700g each. It's cheaper to the rest of Europe (and UK) but
the 2kg limit remains for anywhere outside the Netherlands. For more than 2kg,
you're looking at expensive couriers and the price to the USA quickly rockets.
