I'm in Pennsylvania. But I'm amazed that sending a camera to Wales could
be
cheaper than sending it from Pennsylvania to California.
I just sent a camera body with two 400' mags via FEDEX across country,
insured for $4500. The bill was about $100. The weight of the package
was 25
lbs.
Exactly what did you ship, how much did it weigh packed, and how much
insurance coverage did you have on it?
