Hi, i have bought an item weighing roughly 15kg from the U.S, tried a few companies to compare costs (know its going to be expensive!). Can people recommend some sites where i can get more estimates for this delivery? Thanks in advance John

Fed Ex. Its all on their site. Ive used them to send stuff to America loads of times and its next day etc etc, not sure how much it would cost for a one off though as opposed to having an account..........

it doesnt just depend on the weight, will also depend on the size. Something weighing 1kg but is massive will be more than a small 20kg package. Called dimensional weight or something like that.

Also dont forget you'll have to pay duty, and VAT ontop of the cost of goods + duty + postage cost.

You say "go on..." as if i'm going to comment on it lol

Nothing to say, you just have an accent. If I think you do, then you will think I do.
