Hey.

I've arranged to purchase a set of K&N filter's for my carbs from a private
gentleman (as in, not a business) in the UK (Cambs).  

Neither of us have been involved in international purchases, and don't know
how it works.  

I was going to wire him cash,  but my Chase fee was prohibitive.  Can I send
a check in US dollars?  Will he be charged fees for cashing a US Check?  His
bank is Lloyds.  Should I just mail him the required amount in cash?  I have
an FX exchange desk at work that doesn't charge a fee.  I'm not worried
about trust.  

How about shipping?  Will US customs charge me a tax?  The shipping company
(not sure which) wants 18 pounds for shipping a 1.14Kg package.  Is that
expensive?  (I know that's about $29)  

Thanks all.

MIchael
