I got a quote from the post office a few days ago for shipping my T/A F+F's to the US and it was £85 by airmail and £75 by surface mail - insurance was extra.

Royal Mail are cheapest if your friendly local post office don't bitch that the parcel is oversize :o)  Cost me about £30 quid to ship a frame to europe  :daumenhoch:

It costs about 10% extra to insure anything you send from the post office, I always tend to do this.
