The way i usually certify my comics is to get a dealer in the U.K. who is on the CGC dealer list to send them off for me. That way i pay the dealer for the postage hopefully at a cheaper rate then sending the items myself would cost (Fed-Ex are pretty expensive). And i have the security in dealing with someone at this end who can chase things up for me if need be.

Try incognito comics in the UK.

Do as I do, submit yourself through heritage (or any of the others with 20% off), then ship it to them insured. If your sending in a few then the 20% discount offsets the extra cost, and you are dealing direct, so no major extra costs (most UK dealers submit on your behalf at full cost (so they make the 20%) and charge a premium).

 

CGC will ship it to you after grading by fedex 2 day shipping, which isnt that bad a price, but the exact cost is determined on how many you send in. No import duties as the FMV is not declared.

 

If you want to drop me a PM I can submit yours along with mine (due to send in next week), I will just charge you what it costs. This would only benefit me by bringing down the combined shipping costs

 

ALL WELCOME
