UK lister?

[Huw Powell]

As far as the shipping cost, that doesn't sound out of line to me.

Years ago the USPS stopped offering surface postage in the opposite 
direction, I think because they partnered with UPS for part of the 
service, and UPS doesn't use boats.  This took away the $22 option for 
shipping a pair of woofers (~10 lbs) to Europe, leaving only the $60 
Priority Mail choice.

Quite likely that the reverse trip works the same way.  And a hitch 
weighs what, 15-20 kg?
