| Postage from america to UK Guys, Im hoping you'll be able to help me. After reading the thread about the price paid for training pads, they are unbelieveably cheaper in the UK (on eBay) but I have emailed several sellers and they are unable to post to the UK. Im wondering if any of you could please possibly find out for me who is the cheapest mail company in the US for posting things to Britain. Thanks in advance xx |

| you can go to www.usps.com for shipping rates through the post office. I have never used any other form of shipping when I have ordered from the UK to USA. (I know you are looking for UK to USA, but this is all I could think of!)

| I think there's a typo... I'm confused. Are you wanting pads sent from the US to the UK? Where I work the parent companies are in the UK and Ireland. We do all of our shipping through UPS Worldwide Service. Everything from paperwork to boxes of product. They give us the best rate, but then we do a HUGE volume through them.

| For some reason UK is really expensive to ship to from the US which is why a lot of people dont like to ship there, I have had to learn the hard way when shipping stuff there and I am usually out postage. PLus stuff for somereason gets easily lost on the way to the UK. Ive had several issues sending packages there but anywhere else in the world has been fine. Anytime something is going out of the country is has been explained to me that United States Postal System will be the cheapest, but they still arent cheap. Supposedly the other companies have to pay more for customs or something like that, so they cant ship for as cheap. But anyways I mailed a lightweight 2-3 lbs bed to the UK the other day in a 13x12x3 inch box and it cost me $30 bucks to ship it regular mail to the UK. It would cost $8 in the USA and maybe $15 to somewhere like japan. So thats just crazy. I hope that is helpful to give you some idea.

| BIG Companies get lower shipping rates because the volume they do. if It is a regular person or small store the cheapest way is Regular US postal mail, but they need to say they want the SLOW way. There is 2 different way through the US mail to UK. One is a speedier service and 2x as costly and one is the slow poke waywhich they say can take about 6 weeks.
