Specifically, a box of 16 books probably weighs around 45 pounds, and the USPS says that a package of that weight would cost $168.00 to ship to Great Britain, with a 5% discount if we buy the postage online. Insurance and other services that might be applicable could add another $20 to that total. Inside the USA, it is much cheaper - a box of books of that size would probably cost around $17, and $8-10 for insurance and proof of delivery. lojbab
