In the next few days I'll be ordering an SQ 217 mod from Signature Tips in Birmingham, UK. My shipping options are listed as:

  • Royal Mail Tracked Large Letter at £8.99
  • Royal Mail Tracked Parcel at £9.99
  • FedEx Priority at £12.99
  • FedEx Priority 2 at £15.99
Which should I choose. Should I expect shipping times similar as ordering China?

Thank y'all

Anyone know the difference between the FedEx Priority and the FedEx Priority 2? Besides 3 pounds?

if your paying in pounds i would use the lower option remember to convert the total pounds to usd conversion rates could end up costing double in USD... it is really personal choice i would pay for the fedex at 12.99 pounds

When I sent some bits to St.Roo I used Royal Mail tracked, got there inside a week

only thing to note mate is import duties gonna cost either way can be really expensive depending on how they mark the package up :)

To/fro UK is not bad no matter what you choose. If it gets hung up in customs it will hang for a while, but beyond that; it isn't bad.

All of my orders from the UK are Mail Tracked Parcel. Haven't lost one yet and it takes about 7-10 days to the Gulf. That being said, I'd spend the extra $3.30 and go with FedEx if I were you.
