Default Cheap shipping from UK to US?

Im looking at buying things from UK to have sent to US. Small things like
magazines. The shipping for a magazine is $10 when paying only $4 for it.
Is there a inexpensive way to ship items from UK to US. Duration of
shipment is not a concern.

thx

If you want cheapest surface transport of bulk stuff, you'd have
to contact a commercial shipping company. You best option is
going to be getting it crated up together into pallets/containers
before shipping. For mailing individual magazines, check out the
a 'printed matter' postal rate, which is far less than airmail.
A 400g magazine would be about $5.
