What is the best (cheapest reputable) way to ship a mouthpiece to the UK? Getting estimates online, it seems the best price is $173.00. Does that sound right? I've never shipped across the pond before. Can anyone give any guidance?

Sounds right. Don't forget you have to pay taxes and customs on top of regular shipping&packing charge.

Thanks. Are the taxes and customs included in the shipping price or do I have to check on that separately.

'm assuming you are asking about a U.S. to UK shipment.

If you own the mouthpiece, to the best of my knowledge, there is no sales tax.

Customs Tax will be assessed at the point of entry into the UK and is a UK Custom Tax, not American. Your safest bet is to be very clear to the buyer that you will not be responsible for UK Customs.

If I read everything correctly, then you would have to pay packing and shipping but that's it.
