I need to ship a pc to England, and need information on how to
best go about it. It's an old machine, to be sent to a friend for
personal use at a university.
I have the original packing boxes, so that's not a problem. My main
questions are:
1. Can it be sent in less than three weeks for under $300?
2. Who is best, U.S. mail, UPS, Fed X or someone else?
3. How can I avoid import and/or tariff problems?
4. How much does insurance cost?
If anyone can shed some light for me, I would be grateful.
Thanks
