Also budget for getting hit by customs import tax. Sometimes they get ya, sometimes they don't.
If you budget for it and don't get hit, then you're quids in.

I shipped a 20" frame only from the US a month ago and it cost me $50 (£25) that was via USPS Priority Mail International Service (6-10 business day delivery).

Ticking the "sample" or "returned goods" box works well. NEVER put the value at zero.

I get 3 frames / forks sent to me for $110 - so $80 is ballpark, depending on what else is being sent too.

I had one recently , they charged me $76 but the sticker said $40. $40 is the price online, about $44 if they go to a post office, that's with USPS.
