how heavy?

if it's any use - a cpu, proirity calss mail, signed for, is about £10

Thanks sb

not sure of exact weight, will ask but its This

30x30xapprox40cm i reckon

Edit: Item is 6kg packed

6kg? to Aus, shouldnt be that much (-_-)

[Lakie]

thats what i thought, although cheapest i can find i £66 through parcelforce, "international standard". I think part of the toruble is that the seller wants to get the item to me quickly, i only have 30 days to leave feedback and initiate any item not recieved issues with ebay so i need it within 20 days or so. Otherwise id stick it on a freight carrier, takes 4 months to get here but they only charge £5...

have u tried UPS, fedex, city link?

will you can have a 3rd party like Steve or some one in the UK pick it up or have to send to them they can turn around forward it to you. if they willing to be nice to you. you may have to pay them for the Shipment charges but it would be cheaper do to you get it ship the way you like it to be shipout to you.

That seems an awful when for example I sent a 10kg pack to the U.S. for £35.00. I know it's a shorter distance but that still seeems a lot of money for a relatively small package.

I've gotten stuff through Fed Ex from Australia. It went through England to get to me here in the states and didn't cost much. It wasn't big or heavy, but I should think it would be cheap. Plus, it got here in about 2 weeks, and that was regular shipping.

Thanks for the help all, i think ill have to go with parcelforce. Ironic i actually will pay £15 more for shipping than i did for the item. Its not to bad because i didnt think that id get it for that, i thought id have to pay £90 or somewhere around that. Now i gotta hope customs dont hit me for import duties :-\
