Cheapest method for shipping a PCB from the UK to the US?

[Lochlan]

I recently bought a Vulcan Venture PCB from a UK seller on eBay who was nice enough to open his auction to international bidders so that I could buy it.

We're having some trouble finding a carrier who will ship the PCB insured for less than 100-150 GBP (!!!). I need it shipped with insurance, but shipping time isn't a big issue for me (as long as it's less than, say, a month).

Does anybody have any advice for what carrier to use?

A PCB shouldn't weight much, even well packed. Parcelforce should ship it tracked,insured and within 7-10 day for £70 tops.

try Parcel2go.com should be around £35.

Check with zak on shmups. He's been shipping a lot of stuff around lately.

, i understand now that the parcel is nearly 5kg so anything under £70 would be fantastic.
Good luck to you both on finding a cheap alternative

I just dug through my remaining boxes.

The last kit I obtained from the UK was shipped via:

try interparcel.com

will be around £25 tracked and insured. i always use it to ship to the u.s.(that was a couple of mvs carts though).

youd get it within a couple of days aswell.

5Kilo! To the USA.

Anything over 2 Kilo and shipping goes insane.

Also depends how big it is, but a quick quote on parcel2go is showing UK to USA 5 Kilo Dimensions 30 by 30 by CM DHL Worldwide Express at £36.70.
