I need to post a 3.5 kg parcel to USA from UK?

I need to post a parcel weighing 3.5kg to USA from UK. Everywhere I look seems to be really pricey i.e. £60+. Does anyone know of a cheap way to send this item?

I often send gifts to a friend in the USA and find the best way is by normal parcel post if the contents are of little or no value. If you need to insure the contents against loss, then things get more expensive.

Obviously couriers like FedEx or DHL are FAR more expensive !

• None that I know of. The only way I've found of reducing the price is splitting up a parcel into two small parcels to get around weight limits.
  
  I'm afraid Royal Mail Parcelforce is the cheapest option you are likely to find unless you can ask someone going on holiday to the USA to take the parcel with them and post it when the arrive.
  
  Shipping heavy items outside of the European Union can be dreadfully expensive.
