International Shipping

[KentFishFanUK]

I know Aquarium Co-op still doesn't ship internationally so was just wondering, does anyone know how much it would cost (ballpark figure) to get a box shipped from the US to the UK? Anyone ever posted internationally before? 

There's a bunch of Co-op products I really want 😭 haha so was wondering if it was even feasible to get a friend to get them and ship them to me.

+ there is the whole dealing with customs and taxes.

I have a son in the Navy therefore Grandkids overseas. It's expensive, but not prohibitive. The worst part is you have to go to the Post Office or wherever and fill out a bunch of paperwork. USPS is the best bet IMO as far as finding someone in the office that knows how to do it.

Do you think it would be worth it for say, half a dozen sponge filters, half a dozen no clog air stones, some airline tubing, towels, maybe some easy green and maybe other bits I'm forgetting or yet to discover?

easy green might prove to be difficult for a private person to ship. id think the hard items like sponge filters, air stones/lines etc should be no problem.

Sponge filters are the main thing I want so that's good.

I agree with @lefty o you have to declare everything that is in the package. I've not tried to ship liquids but I'm sure it wouldn't be allowed. Any of the hard goods would be fine. I think the most we have ever paid was around $35 for a box around a foot square to Japan from Utah.

$35 wouldn't be so bad, it's doable then!
