I need to send a 15kg 50x50x50 parcel to the USA. Ideally tracked and insured for £500. Needs to be there in 7 working days.

Will I get the best deal just going with parcelforce or can anyone recommend a cheaper courier?

UPS also have a price calculator on their website for deliveries abroad inc. US.

www.parcel2go.com is where I go if not sending something with Royal Mail or Parcel Force.

If you're a new customer then you can get £10 off. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/parcel2go

I've used interparcel before, although not to the US.

For what it's worth, I usually go with one of their UPS based quotes, even if it's a little more expensive.

Can't hurt to do a quote in any case.
