Shipping from the UK to the US

The price is so absurd for 29er parts obsolete in the US but the UK still sells. It costs SO MUCH to deliver a 30-dollar part. Literally, thrice the price of this little thing. Are there shipping options that don't cost that steep?

Don't scold me. I already checked Canada stores. They don't have what I'm looking for. And I'm not set to buy secondhand here.
 
All about the weight and volume mate. And ofc you sure have to pay customs taxes and value added tax again when importing from UK to US.

I think there really isn't any other option but to pay the costs, especially since you're firmly saying you don't wanna buy secondhand here.
 
Ugh, tell me about it, shipping costs can be crazier than the part itself. Sometimes it helps to see if the seller can combine shipments or use a slower shipping method; even a week longer can save a ton. Other times, reaching out to smaller freight or courier services can get you a better rate than the standard checkout options maybe
