I just received a set of Minilite rims just last month, weighing 50 pounds, all the way from England. Shipping was $102.00. Took a week via DHL.

That seems awfully high to me - What is the preferred method for sending something of this nature from England to the United States (Southern California) Surely it should cost less than that to send this item - I had a Quaife sent, weighing probably about the same or possibly even a bit more, and it didn't cost any where near that much. And it arrived only a couple of days after I ordered it, so it wasn't on the slow boat - - granted, it was probably around 10 or more year ago, but things haven't gone up that much--have they??
