If I wanted to get someone to send me a CD from the States, how much in dollars would they expect to have to pay to send it to the UK?

Everyone, even if you don't have an answer, pretend you're going to reply just so you get to read it.

Flowers, is this a test? It sounds like a Maths exam question. You can check on the Fed Ex site rate finder if you know both the postcodes.

It's not so much a postcode thing, I want an idea so I can decide whether to order a CD from an online store, or persuade one of you very lovely and wonderful American people to buy it and send it over.

No one in their right mind would send you anything by FedEx unless it desperately needed to get to you overnight. It's expensive, and you need to have an account.

Via USPS, a single cd (in a standard jewelbox) would cost about $3-4 in shipping, plus a dollar for the padded envelope, give or take. It's all to do with weight, but it should stay in the general ballpark of the $3-5 range.

If they send the cd without a jewelbox with some kind of paper board to keep it sturdy, it'll be a dollar or so less. I never send jewelboxes overseas anymore, it's too much money wasted.

What are you looking for, Flowers?

This.

Anyone know the shop they mention? Is it reliable? Or is anyone willing to buy it for me and send it over? If there's something I can get over here to send back your way I'd be everso grateful, or I can just Paypal you the cash...

Oooh, Oooh, I know this one!! Recently I received a (double) CD in a jewel case and packed in a "fiberous" sort of jiffy bag and it cost the sender $5.60. Hope that helps!

I've ordered a cd from CD Baby before (a Grant Lee Phillips release), and they were very good. I wouldn't worry about them, they are very reliable.
