Fedex by far the best option going to the US from the UK, 48 hours service typically for around £25 fully tracked.

Royal Mail is extortionate for a tracked service i was quoted over £50 last month when i took one to be posted within the UK for an enquiry i had.

What size is the box? A typical bat box is 90 x 12 x 10 and 2kg, I’ve just generated a price of £28 in my account for that, based on ‘USA’ with no specific location data. If you are sending to a remote area there might be a surcharge
