freight US to UK
 
how many have shipped from the US to the UK I need to send 2 items for repair/exchange and wondering what the fastest carrier into the UK is. UPS ? FedEx? USPS?

Anything I ship out of the country I use Priority USPS should arrive around 5 to 6 days and is the cheapest, if money is no object you could ship overnight and take couple of days

Three times I've ordered parts from Armortek in England and the box was shipped by UPS. As an example, I placed an order wth'em on Monday and the box arrived on Wednesday. And all three orders arrived in TWO DAYS! THAT is faster from England than if I (usually) order something from here in the U.S.

What you chaps wont realise is that at the moment all parcels coming in from the US are getting shafted for customs duties and handling charges even if there is no customs to be paid a handling fee is still applied this has happened to me a few times over the last 12 month or so, FedEx is probably the worst, also when I have tracked parcels from the US they usually sit in customs in the US for 5-10 working days and usually receive the parcel 20-30 days after shipping it’s by no means fast.
