Shipping US to UK
Hey guys,
Want to send some candy and cereal from here to my nephews and niece back home.
Anyone know the cheapest way to send it? DHL etc all are crazy prices, at least 100 bucks for a 5lb box of candy and cereal!
Thanks

USPS should be cheaper but not cheap.

Re: Shipping US to UK
With the post office the recipients in the UK may be charged import duty and VAT plus a brokerage charge.
This seems to be totally random I send spare parts over and some sail right through others we are charged.
I have tried standard package shipping and Global Priority in my case it made no difference.
