Postage

I am posting a small parcel to the USA from the UK. What's the most economical way to do this. It's a door mirror and a couple of brackets. Not heavy or oversize.

However you send it make user it's insured for the full value. After the recent debacle with headlights turning into door mirrors during transit, I'd cover yourself and ensure you're fully covered for any eventuality between your drop off and customer's delivery or it could end in tears

Be aware if you need to claim you need a photo of everything, item undamaged, packaging undamaged, item in packaging undamaged, item damaged, packaging damaged, invoice etc.

UPS is fastest and therefore most expensive (have had parcels in 2 days). Royal mail takes a week (insured/signed for) a little cheaper but make sure there's good padding.
