Thought I'll ask here if anyone could help me.

My uncle in UK has finally got me the clutch I've been wanting for the last 4 months, but he got a price from the Post Office to mail to me for £250!! :yikes: Like HOLY SHIT!!! I dont want sea freight cause I will never get it, plus he has been quoted roughly £100. :( He did all this online for pricing.

Anyone here recommend/suggest a company my uncle could approach? I suggested DHL.

shouldn't be that much.

A friend shipped some boxes from overseas via London, took less than 2 months.

I also got a package from Autovaux- Radiator, waterpump, belts plus other things, and shipping was only 85 GBP via DHL. arrived in 4 days.

contact DHL, or like a pack n send type place.

There were more than a few when I was in London.

You can do quotes online from DHL etc yourself.

Yeah, I did some Googling before and found a mob who quoted me through their website.
