Shipping Item to UK

It’s been a while since I shipped internationally. I have only a handful of FBM items and one I was about to send to FBA just sold before I did it, and item 1.3 pounds (without a box). Probably will be under 2 pounds packaged, but might be over (I don’t have a working scale at this time).

​

Buyer paid $53.24 shipping and VAT

$30.65. Amazon only gives me one option:

​

DHL Express International

$45.28 – Thu, Jul 28

​

First, how in the world will they get it there tomorrow? If I change the ship date to tomorrow, the delivery is on Sun Jul 31.

​

Second, does DHL charge any customs broker fees I might get hit with?
