Hi guys, not sure if anyone here will have done it, but I was wondering if anyone has used / can recommend any companies for shipping several boxes (about a 30cm squared) to the UK from the US? (MA to be precise)

I've had some quotes online from companies but a lot of them want a minimum of 100sq ft of stuff, and we have about 1/4 - 1/3 of that max!

Many thanks.

Hi Riknos,

I suggest you get quotes from USPS, UPS and FedEx. I am not sure if DHL handles this.

The price will depend on weight and size. We are not metric here so think inches. Twelve inches square doesn't sound too big, but you need the third dimension too.

You may be able to use an online calculator.

Wilf.
