Hi all
There was a sale on an item in the US which I couldn't get for a reasonable price in the UK. I asked a friend to pick up a few but did not think about shipping to the UK. I assumed it would't be ridiculous but oh I was so wrong. The rates my friend found were all greater than $400 for an item costing $150.
I've found transglobalexpress who seem to be doing it much cheaper (sub £200) but reviews aren't great.
Any ideas on what I can do other than ask my friend to return the items?
Details
From Chicago to London
Item weights 30lbs
Length 44" (112cm)
Width 24" (61cm)
Height 15" (38.1cm)
It doesn't have to be the fastest shipping ever...
Thanks in advance
