They said they looked at fedex/dhl/ups and most were in the 100-120£ range and the 60ish is the best they found. Said they prefer not to use royal mail as it would move through a lot more hands. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t mind paying but it was definitely a little unexpected lol

6228 Does £60-70 for shipping a knife from the UK to the US sound right? Value of the knife is £250. I’m not fighting with the maker about it but it was a bit higher than I was expecting.
