Easiest is probably stick in the post. Sea Mail would probably be cheapest, just make sure it is insured. But - He / she will have to declare the value of it on a customs sticker - You may have to pay VAT / customs etc before can collect it See http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageExcise_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_001454&propertyType=document http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/sectors/consumers/goods-imported.htm What I do not know is if the US exporter can get any tax rebate from exporting the goods http://www.export.gov/logistics/eg_main_018130.asp but a lot depends on what state he / she is exporting from If they use simple post then from Post Office they can get a Customs Declaration that they stick on the parcel. Alternatively: use a freight forwarder - available in the yellow pages. Depending on the goods, it might be cheaper for you to find one in England and tell them to collect it from the exporter. -- Henry Photocopies or faxes of my signature are not binding.
