Best and least expensive way to ship parts to England

What is the best and least expensive way to ship parts to England? I have a 7 pound part and the best I can find is US Postal Service at $65. DHL is over $125 and UPS id $200+.

USPS is usually the cheapest commercial service

When it gets to the UK the recipient may have to pay import duty on the goods and shipping and tax on the goods shipping and import duty

If you're sending the goods back to yourself you can avoid paying tax and duty if goods are labelled correctly

I have used this company
Welcome to R and R Hot Rod Imports
They ship regularly from new Jersey by sea and I think now by air

if it fits in a flat rate box thats one way. sometimes mail boxes ect. has specials specials for shipping to England. another option is space-A, or SAM space available mail from the post office can give a great deal
