Hello,

Whats the cheapest way to post luggage from US (Orlando) to the North East of England?

Anyone have any previous experience of this?

Thanks,
Badger.
 
well ive just had a 18kilo pc case from the states and it cost me (in dollars) $150.

then i got my fedex tax bill today for £110 :(

so depending on the weight and value of the good's it can differ quite a bit.
 
Just watch the VAT bill when it gets here. You might get away with it but I had something from a company in Cali and USPS said that the price included all destination taxes.

Yeah, I get a letter from ParcelForce saying that I owe them 7 quid for the VAT and a further 8 quid because they paid it for me.
 
if you get someone to know to post the item for you, anything less than 30quid isnt vatable, but obv if its gonna be a large, heavy object, underdeclaring its value is kinda crazy ;p
 
if your buying clothes while on holiday over here just bring hand luggage with enough stuff to last you till you can get to the shops.

other than that I've only posted heavy stuff the other way from the uk to the usa.
