foook thats not good is it... its the tracking that costs, if you send it as is it shouldnt cost anywhere near that.  Dont suppose our amazing pound will help at the moment $1.50 ffs!!

what made me laugh though was the statement the comp cover was only for the UK
as it would be other postal services dealing with it in the US
so beyond their control etc

Needing to post a frame to the States and have got these quotes so far -

Based on a parcel - 35cm high, 20cm wide and 100cm long, weight 4 kilos....

http://www.interparcel.com/quote/courier-quote1.php'ref=Google_IP_General - can do it for £50

http://www.transglobal.org.uk/ - can do it for £41

http://www.parcel2go.com/ - can do it for £50.12

Anyone used these or found anything better?
