What is the cheapest way to send a bike frame to UK?

Hi all. What is the cheapest way to send a bike frame sized box to UK? I used USPS pricing and it gave me a quote of $93, just wondering if there's a cheaper way. Thanks ahead!

That is the cheapest route, I'd also expect it to take 6-8 weeks (or longer) at the moment due to lack of passenger and cargo flights with COVID.

FedEx is more reliable, and about 5-7 days, but will cost you around $150 through ShipBikes.

I've always found USPS to be the cheapest. The box must be under 108-inches length + girth combined.

That's actually a very fair price these days for international.

If you can cut the box down to less than 108" USPS is the cheapest. They will not insure it for much (the limit depends on the destination) so keep that in mind.
