e a number of variables when shipping from across the pond. The cost is bas=

weight will govern, if light and bulking then volume or maximum dimension. =
Royal Mail is usually a better option than DHL, UPS etc if the package will=
fit within Royal Mail restrictions. My experience is DHL is the worst opti=
