Shipping to the USA from the UK, by caddyshack on Oct 3, 2011 14:41:43 GMT 1, Hi guys. I have someone interested in a Hush print I'm selling and they live in the USA. Im in sunny UK. What's the best, safest and cheapest way to get a rolled up print to the States. DHL want nearly ยฃ50. There must be a cheaper way.
Anyone get any experiences in this?

It seems that shipping from the USA into the UK is much cheaper than the UK to USA. Which company did you use in the UK?

Shipping to the USA from the UK, by spirit on Oct 3, 2011 15:41:35 GMT 1, I use parcel2go.com - they are a third party which come and collect from you and get good deals from FeEx, TNT, DHL etc
I am currently sending a small tube to the states for ยฃ15.57 (DHL Worldwide Express) + ยฃ11.50 for insurance

Shipping to the USA from the UK, by sohohoho on Oct 3, 2011 15:47:31 GMT 1, For prints worth up to ยฃ500, Royal Mail International Signed for has never let me down. A 700gram package would cost ยฃ13.65 + ยฃ2.50 for the additional insurance. Make sure you ask for the package to be insured for ยฃ500 otherwise it will only be insured for ยฃ46!

Shipping to the USA from the UK, by kendo on Oct 3, 2011 16:11:09 GMT 1, As said above, i've used Royal Mail for sending tubes to the US and Canada. It generally goes by Airsure and can be tracked, although I think this service is limited by the size of tube and to an insurance value of ยฃ500.
I've sent a few prints using this method and i've never have had any trouble (touch wood). Also, it's best to ensure that you spend time in packaging and it's always best to 'over-do' it as it's better safe than sorry!
Recently, I sent a tube to the US (CA) using this method and it cost ยฃ19.83 with a weight of 0.9kg.
Hope this helps!

Shipping to the USA from the UK, by pcant on Oct 3, 2011 19:17:27 GMT 1, I've received a number of tubes here in the states through Royal Mail (delivered by USPS on this end) and never had a problem. Also, as mentioned above, make sure it's good and secure. If you've ever got a print from BRP, do what they do in regards to securing the print. Little corner pockets on the backing paper will keep it from sliding into the end of the tube and crinkling the edge of the print.

Ive also used these, no complaints. Another 3rd party company ive been using lately are 'transglobalexpress'. They have worked out cheaper than 'parcel2go' for same service.
