Forget about these prices - they are for the stupid general public. KNC have an account with UPS/Fedex and get it much cheaper.
I posted screenshots to prices via an account, that are even accessible to the general public. The stupid ones go directly to UPS and say: I'll bend over, you do the rest
Here is it again:

Because you are looking at it in the wrong direction mate, you are pricing parcels (without insurance) from the UK to Sweden, its different going the other way.
One of your quotes is with Transglobal express right? Well I use them all the time, I have an account with them, try doing their import quote rather than export quote.
And thats without the £550 insurance, that's an extra £11!
The other one is with Parcel2Go? Apart from pricing in the wrong direction that will always get you incomparable prices, even if you did it that way with them you have to add insurance, try adding £500 on top and see, even going the wrong way how much more they are.
I know it feels like they are ripping people off with postage, I don't think they are on the raw UPS express cost, But I agree that 3 boards shouldn't cost 3 x the postage, you should be able to get them for the one price, combine the postage for less total cost.
