^ It's true that I haven't shipped for a while but I worked in the airline business for 12 years and before that used to ship computers by the thousand all around the world by air so I know the business from both sides.
For £200 SLC (self loading cargo) gets you a seat above the deck to cross the Atlantic and for that you get food & drink and the added fun of throwing pea nuts at the flight attendants. A few inches beneath your feet is the cargo deck which these days more than ever is empty and airlines still to this day treat filling that space as incremental revenue i.e. they sell it for whatever they can get.
Going east from the UK or US you will get even lower rates for cargo these days.
This is my point about getting a HU approved shipper we can all use.
$2,500 is almost hand luggage rates! Don't pay it!!!
