High Postage Cost U.K. > US , by Shoeless on Mar 30, 2020 19:18:12 GMT 1, Wasn’t sure where to ask this.....
I recently won an auction piece and need it picked up/shipped from the U.K. to the states.
I received a quote from Flight Logistics that seems high to me. I’ve used them in the past and happy with the service, but:
Collection / Packing Foam Line Ply: £135.00
Shipping: £158.88
Insurance: £110.00
It is for a Banksy so I expected it to be a good bit, but I just had a Harland Miller posted for half that.
Does that seem high or about what I should expect?
Thanks

High Postage Cost U.K. > US , by Tax and Shipping on Mar 31, 2020 12:56:34 GMT 1, That seems pretty steep - depending on the location, I can’t recommend My Special Delivery service highly enough. They’re only in certain states, but they’ve saved me a lot of ££ over the years and the service is great! I think Printed Matter use them too for their high value shipments.

Asked around here if anyone has seen that 25% duty yet but received no response.
Curious if this will get hit....prepared regardless.
Thanks for the heads up though.
Careful on the import duties, friend; 25% UK to USA currently Ive heard plenty about this yet my Miller was only charged $60...or about .5%.
