Postage from states?

[P20]

How much does it cost on average to send a frame and forks from the states to the uk? The seller doesn't know and i'm trying to get an idea for price. Cheers

My Attitude was sent by USPS for $76.50

So if i allow for $100 i should be ok. Ta

Sounds right. I get frames sent to Denmark for about $70 with USPS Priority.

yes, $100 would include a generous tip for packing and driving to the post office - assuming frame and fork are not unusually heavy...

just tell the seller in advance that he MUST keep the box below 108" length+girth with girth being 2x width + 2xheight (some don't know...) if he wants to ship it via USPS. he may be able to find a frame or BMX box which should just be within this limit but the frame may not fit into it if it is large. then he'll have to custom build a box by cutting down a normal bike box and taping/glueing it together. needs to be done carefully for it to survive the long journey.

Cheers for that. I did look on the USPS site and didn't get the whole 108" rule. I understand it now.
