    Anyone know of a cheapish courier from USA to mainland UK? Parcel is around 25x25x25cm 5kg in weight! Can find plenty that'll deliver there for cheap but other way round is a nightmare

    Have you tried www.interparcel.com i think they do a import service from the US. or you might be better off looking for a courier reseller based in the US.
    Any advice I give on these forums is my own opinion only, and is what I would do in your situation or, what I have done in the past, please do not slate me for offering what I see as "sound" advice.
    Thanks

    Thanks, I tried interparcel but I was looking at not far off £100. Seems bizarre when I can send the other was for £16.75 plus vat! I tried looking for courier resellers in the states but bar UPS and the us postal service I couldn't find any others :(

  • I've used a number of couriers to purchase items from ebay, but the best in terms of price and quality of service ratio has to be Parcel Save. I've never had any items gone missing in the 30 odd times I've used them. I'd never heard of them before until I bought a headboard from an ebay seller. As I had bought three headboards I didn't want to pay the delivery for three headboards, so the seller contacted Parcel Save who only charged me £5.95 as the three headboards weighed less than 30kg's in total. Nice one ebay seller bed_centre09
