I'm an importer and I have a shipment building in England now. I try to ship when I have between 6 and 12 guns. It costs the same for air freight for 1 gun or 12. Here's what I have to pay. $525 for air freight to Anchorage. (It's the only way the ship them out of Britian that I know of.) $180 for my broker to get them released. 11% customs fee if the shipment value is above $2000, (not hard). Gas for a 300 mile round trip. Shipping to where ever the guns that aren't mine are going. It's not cheap.
