From: "Pete Turnbull" You can talk to just about any international shipper, like Transgroup, www.transgroup.com The difference between UPS etc. and Transgroup and the likes, is that Transgroup (and many others) consolidate shipments. This means, that they throw everything in containes, and _then_ ship the filled container. I've had some shipments from the US, and a rule of thumb is that consolidated shipments are about 1/3 of the "full service" price. You must however accept a slower service, for good reasons. A week transit time from the US to the UK can be expected. Nico --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
