I just received a set of Minilite rims just last month, weighing 50 pounds,
all the way from England. Shipping was $102.00. Took a week via DHL.

Subject: [Spits] Shipping a "heavy" item from England -
I won an ebay auction for a heavy metal item (4 Kilos about 9 lbs) but the
post there has quoted the sender about 75 GBP (around $108). That seems
awfully high to me - What is the preferred method for sending something of
this nature from England to the United States (Southern California) Surely
it should cost less than that to send this item - I had a Quaife sent,
weighing probably about the same or possibly even a bit more, and it didn't
cost any where near that much. And it arrived only a couple of days after
I ordered it, so it wasn't on the slow boat - - granted, it was probably
around 10 or more year ago, but things haven't gone up that much--have
they??
