To look at from the other end, the post office no longer sends items
overseas at a surface rate that weigh over 4 pounds. Not even to
Canada! Whatever weighs 4 lbs plus has to go by Priority Mail at a
cost of approximately $50 for 9 pounds going to Great Britain. Their
postal rates are higher, I believe, so your package is not out of
line....
