    £20 inc vat but thats only £50 insurance but they will add more if you ring them.

    I can recommend these, they will use either UPS, Fedex, Parcelforce etc depending on who they have covering.

    Something I should mention though, is make sure you check the exclusions, certain items are point blank not allowed to be shipped and others they wont insure.

    Royal mail is def the cheapest option but it is just so stupid the way the system works. Surely they would be better off just having 1 system that works rather than 2 that are neither here nor there.
  • Thanks to everyone for their advice. I used DHS via interparcel, cost was about £34 which included £10 for extra compensation.

    I had the wrong paperwork, so the DHL driver couldn't pick up, so took to their depot at 6.15 pm yesterday. The parcel has already reached it's destination in the USA. Very impressed
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D
