harkom Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I would be grateful for any advice on minimising postal charges on small-medium lightweight parcels from America. I seem to recall that this was a topic under discussion a few months back but I can't find original post. Thank you in advance .

phaedra1106 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Somewhere buried on the USPS website is a link to surface mail shipping, it's the cheapest (and slowest) option but they prefer you to use something easier (for them) like a standard sized flat rate shipping box. I'll have a dig around and see if I can find it again For a 1Kg box the cheapest standard shipping is $35.25 https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=10143&ccode=GB&omil=False&dmil=False&mdt=6%2F19%2F2018&mdz=10%3A29&m=6&dvi=50&p=2&o=3.5 FedEx or UPS Ground Shipping is usually cheaper than USPS Priority Mail Just had look on FedEx and they want you to create an account to get a price!, UPS WorldWide Saver is $27.60 https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc/request?loc=en_GB&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=ds_gclid:CPHe2LWMvdsCFUKShQodIQIDtw:dscid:71700000020418360:searchterm:ups&gclid=CPHe2LWMvdsCFUKShQodIQIDtw&gclsrc=ds Edited June 5, 2018 by phaedra1106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
