I found a company in the UK that makes 3D print figures. They have a deal for free shipping over £50 in the UK. Otherwise, they want to charge £15 for shipping to the states.
Any UK folks on the forum? Does £15 for shipping to the states seems reasonable or a bit over priced?

Normal.
UK/European shipping and US-Europe shipping rates went through the roof last year or so. I just paid $26 to ship a small T-shirt to my wife’s sister in the UK.
Just ask them to not charge VAT for export, though as a small business they may not charge it anyway.
Thanks Pete.
I’m actually going into combine orders with some other US modelers to hopefully save a bit on shipping. And then ship the smaller stuff inside the US for a bit cheaper price.
Craig, there are certain weights at which the prices go up. See if your seller can advise. Kernow in the UK told me this a year or two ago:
"The cost of sending 1 pack is £19.16 (excl VAT) for the wheels and £9.00 postage.
The £9.00 postage remains the same until the weight exceeds 1kg. One pack weighs just 0.15kg before packaging is added, so you could add up to another 3, 4 or even 5 packs before the postage goes up"
