Who should I use to send a parcel to the USA?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Need to send a vintage saw to the USA; bamboozled by the couriers and options out there - any advice? Tx.

I always used to send overseas stuff via the Post Office- never had any problems. Otherwise, you can get an instant quote and book a collection using interparcel.com as long as you have your package dimensions and weight, and a phone number for the recipient - you can't submit the form without one - I've used them a lot over the last few months for domestic deliveries and they always turn up when they're supposed to. Even the economy 3-5 day service seems to arrive next working day most of the time. They do international deliveries too - mostly using UPS or fedex.

 

Cheers,

I send most of my stuff via interparcel now.

If you go to interparcel.com Put in size and weight etc they will find the cheapest courier and give you whatever options you want too. Pick which one you want they can sometimes pick up from you the same day.

parcelforce, as it should then be tranfered to USPS once in the states, this should be the cheapest method, or UPS if you want it to stay with one courier for more security and ease of tracking (once a parcelforce parcel leaves the uk you cant track it, the sender will have to chase and hound usps about it!)
