When I asked a few years ago, they flat refused to ship by any means other
than airmail.  IIRC, Royal Mail will only handle packages under 2kg (4.4
pounds); anything larger has to go through ParcelForce.

When I talked another UK vendor into sending by ParcelForce economy
(surface), the package disappeared for about 3 weeks and then got returned
to them.  No refunds, I wound up paying for delivery twice in order to get
my parts.
