Am trying to figure out if something is a scam--is shipping generally expensive in UK? This person is going to ship me keys & apartment-related documents from England, and I am responsible for the cost, which she cites as approx. 100 GBP. That seems expensive, right?

Hell yeah, unless there's some kind of ridiculously expensive insurance involved?

£100 is a bit on the steep side, Fedex quotes £81, it's not excessive though.
Can't really use the post as for some reason you can't use international recorded for the USA and canada, and I know I wouldn't trust my house keys to the british postal system especially with a return address on the package.

I've had stuff shipped from the UK before ... cost about $30 for something that was about 2 lbs. This person could be trying to grift u.

I guess I'll find out how they're planning on sending the stuff before writing them off completely. Thanks for the responses~!
