Can anyone recommend a reliable courier to deliver something to the USA from UK? Value about £400 and weight approx  6kg, dimensions roughly 60x40x50 I have sent a parcel of same weight, value and dimensions via ebays global shipping programme and it cost the customer $90 which we both thought was a bit excessive. I am looking online but they don't advertise how reliable they are 😜 Many thanks in advance

$90 is a good price including insurance and everything else that GSP does.

UPS is £100ish for that weight size but insurance would be extra.

You could try the bigger companies, FedEx, Parcelforce, DHL but I suspect on a one off they'll be more expensive too.

I use P2G as a broker and their best quote for your parcel is around £100 with UPS at the moment.

A couple of years ago I sent 11kg and slightly smaller dims for under £60 so I reckon prices are artificially high due to the lack of flights caused by Cov19.

I have managed to fit the goods into a box which fits within the dimensions of large parcel for UPS as the purchaser is happy for me to use them so that brings the cost down as my original dimensions went into the extra large parcel category. Now I need to create a commercial invoice and sort the customs forms. I think I know why I have used eBay before 😂😂
