Reliable way to send small parcel across the pond

[JDMTim]

I need to send a Jiffy Bag sized parcel to the states, it needs to arrive on or before the 14th of Feb. I have taken a look at parcel2go and have used them with success in the UK so was going to use them for this, but before i did, i was wondering if any of you had any other suggestions?

Parcel2Go is just the booking company, probably DHL will be the carrier. It's as good a bet as any without paying UPS's rates

Use FedEx, UPS or DHL.

Much as people moan and complain about them on here at times, considering the millions of parcels they carry each year, there is a very small number of problems.

Put item in black bag, tie a knot in it, strap to back, swim.

Small parcel for the 14th Feb? Is it Milk Tray? Only that might have come with delivery included.

Am I being naive here to suggest RM? The only time they struggle with foreign parcels is if it is heavy (about 2kg unless printed papers which I seem to send a lot of........).

I'd try RM airsure. Its tracked and pretty quick - even at Christmas items were being delivered within 10 days.

I wasn't sure whether or not i could trust RM to do the job.. Anyone got any ideas how much i'm likely to pay for a jiffy bag < 2kgs using RM?

Funny suggestions are always welcome, keep them coming

I was considering the short swim, but im nearing the end of a bulking phase, meaning my cardio is shot to pieces!

I know what thats like, just taken 2 months off running and weights so I could slap some weight on. Went for a 5 mile jog Sat, Sun and Monday, its fking killing me.
On the plus side, by the time your half way across the pond, you should either have burnt most of it off or have drowned.

Nuclear submarine as far as US east coast, then strapped to a Trident misile for doorstep delivery.
