Sending Parcel from US to UK

[Spamalot]

I'm a little confused and wondered if any of you guys could help.

I sent a fair few packages to the US. It usually costs from around £15-30 for anything up to 20KG.

Now I want to send one the other direction is seems to cost around £150 (using the same companies as I use to send the other way).

Has anyone found a cheaper alternative? The package I need to send it around 19KG.

Thank you

Not cheap admittedly, but 20Kg is quite a hefty package. That's on 3-5 Business Days so no doubt via Air. Land based shipping will be much cheaper.

£30 for 20KG? Which courier is that cheap?

Those prices TO USA are amazingly cheap. Who do you use?

Do you work for a freight forwarder? If so drop me a line as I might have some other work for you.
