so i went to fedex to ship a package to uk at 4.8lbs and was shocked when the guy told me $250 was my total.

wtf, customs really charges that much to ship stuff there? this is for the cheapest shipping method, economy as well.

I shipped something to Japan with the USPS and it was $48.

Go through USPS much cheaper I had the same experience when I had to ship something to china except they wanted over 400 and had it done for 60 dollars

to fedex a letter within the US is about 20 bucks.

USPS and just ensure it, however insuring may bump it up to express shipping.

he might have quoted you the overnight rate. i've fedexed stuff to england around that weight and it was closer to $35.
