Re: OT: Need help with a package from UK to USA
Thanks John and Bob. Not a solution in either case. Royal Mail (in some sort of fire sale situation, I read) is the umbrella corp of ParcelForce. Their prices are pretty much the same as the rest. They only seem to differ in the service used to deliver the goods once over here. One suggestion made by the seller and by eBay was to find a consolidator who takes their time but fills containers to ship under their name. Getting the package to a port and getting it delivered might be another sticking point. ParcelForce, by the way, offers the best prices, up until just below my purchase's cubic footage, at which point that service is no longer available.

Re: OT: Need help with a package from UK to USA
When I was overseas needed to mail stuff home there was an option called Space Available Mail that was really cheap. Mailed a 9x12 carpet home for $8.00. Took it about 2 weeks to get there (not a big deal because I didn't get there for another six months myself). There may be something like that available, but you probably won't find any commercial parcel handling outfits that will offer to find out about it for you.
