Shiping coast in Uk,outside the country,why the are so expensice?

Hello!
i have special quesiton,maybe some on knows it,on Ebay.uk,i recogneized,when i ask people how much are the shiping coasts for stbs,to austria ,i got answers,that it coast with parcel force 48 up to 60 Pounds,there is a much difrent,most dealers wants 30 or 40 pounds for,but this is nearly 2- 3 times,more,then all other european countrys payes,when the send something to uk!
is parcel force realy so expensice?

also on small thinks,like portable dat recorder,i read in Q&A ,when some ask the seller,for shiping to usa,,for this little parcel 100$,ich can ship internationaly from here for around 20€

are they not many carriers in uk,that is so expensice,or does the parcel force have like a monopol,and can do what the want with the prices?

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

It is quite expensive _http://www.parcelforce.com/portal/pw/home , but also a lot of Ebayers don't really want to send overseas, adds to the risk of getting fleeced.

My System: 1.9M dish with FTA box. 80CM dish with monoblock pointed at 13 & 19 degrees. Technomate 1500CI

I agree with you rolfw. One other thing that the seller is doing is over charging the postage to put more value on the item you are purchasing. Ebay do not charge the seller commision on postage only the item. I was once quoted 15GBP to post UK-Spain. Actual cost less than 2 quid recorded.

are they any other carriers,that are chepaer then parcel force?
a Ebay member told me,the main reason,are the high insurance coasts for the goods,that has been shiped!

some items,here in austria,like gold chains,and this kind of stuff,you cant ship,if you do and its lost you got nothing!

Probably not many, most of the large shippers are more expensive in my experience.
