shipping from the uk

[rarman1]

hi all,

is shipping from the uk really that costly, every time i input the weight of an item it always seems to be three times the cost of me importing in to the uk,

for instance for me to send a set of tyres to canada it would cost standard mail £22 and priority £45,

this cant be right can it ?

yep it` s dear as i wanted to send a set of wheels to germany and they wanted 35 quid due to size and weight .

One of the problems is that the Post Office (Royal Mail) only take a maximum weight of 2Kg. Any heavier and then you have to use Parcel Force etc who are a rip off
