Re: HELLO from accross the pond!

A lot of shipping charge is based on the size of the box, not just the weight. Makes sense, as there is limited volume in shipping the truck or airplane. Obviously, a helmet takes up more space (and weight) than a jersey.

Yes, I just checked the UPS rates, and it is well over 100.00 to ship a 6 lb helmet to the UK from the US. Not sure on the fed ex charges or if the mail is cheaper.

I guess thats becuase ofthe speedof shipping as well. Expedite is the quickest method whereas i have had thing shipped on the slowest method which is supposed to take 3-4 weeksbut traditionally takes 7 days.

Interestingly if i was to win an auction for a (full size) helmet on NFL Auctions shipping would be $36!
