    A friend of mine in Oldbury, has been a HUGE help during my bout of depression so I wanted to send him some stuff and a copy of Mega Man 11 on Switch since there's no Physical release for Switch in Europe.

    It's my understanding the Royal post is unreliable and shipping to the UK from the United States Postal service is insanely expensive anyway. Also how much of a Pain is English Customs?

    I want to know these things before I send potentially Hundreds of Dollars in games, and food items across the Atlantic.

    Should I use FED Ex? DHL? UPS?

    Royal mail isn't too bad. But if there are any customs fees at all, they charge a flat £8 on top just for admin.

    DHL fees much more reasonable. Never have issues with DHL or ups. But prefer DHL just due to fees.
