    Default how much do you think...

    it would cost to ship a 2lb box from the UK to Cleveland, Ohio? a samco hose dealer says its going to be GBP 60 ($120) i think this is outrageous. it would be free shipping to anywhere in the UK. so maybe i could have it shipped to one of you guys, who could maybe in turn, ship it to me?

    £60 seems a bit steep, UK postage rates used to be based on just weight but recently they have changed to include volume as well so we are getting some very odd shipping quotes.

    Mate, have you looked into getting the package shipped by surface mail, that would be much cheaper.

    Here's a postal calculator link to findings on the UK Royal Mail site, I based the results on 1.5 KGs
