Cheap shipping from UK to US?
Im looking at buying things from UK to have sent to US. Small things like
magazines. The shipping for a magazine is $10 when paying only $4 for it.
Is there a inexpensive way to ship items from UK to US. Duration of
shipment is not a concern.
thx

Ship it by boat as bound printed matter, which is what it is, for the
cheapest rate west or east across the Atlantic. I've done this many
times. You are probably being quoted an air mail or priority rate which
is what all postal clerks in Europe assume is what you want.
