As an example yesterday I took a pair of rims,tyres and inner tubes in a cardboard box for "test run" and the cost would have been £49-00GBP = $76-00 USD delivery for an item costing just £25-00GBP = $43-50 USD. The faster air mail tariff will cost much more than my quotes. So there you go , whether there is anybody in the UK who does this service for less I would'nt as I've never enquired. I can see the day coming when the costs of shipping will become prohibtive (if they have'nt already) to send our goods to you in America. The lastest increase in pricing by The Royal Mail came into effect on
the 1st April .
