How Much is the Shipping?
« on: Friday 18 May 18 21:11 BST (UK) »
I have only ordered Ancestry dna tests in Canada and USA. What to they charge for shipping in the UK?
I am debating whether to order a kit from ancestry.uk, or post one that I already have to a cousin.

I've just received one from My Heritage and I have to pay the shipping back to the States. I'm not sure how much that will be.

PS - The Ancestry one includes shipping both ways. The test is sent to Eire.

The Canadian tests are sent to Eire too, I think all tests outside the USA go there

Ah - just read on an old link that it's £20 p&p for first test and £10 for subsequent tests.

Sounds a bit of a racket if you only need one   :-X
