I would have used priority but it did not provide tracking. To the uk only way to track would be registered mail. Registered mail first class was $26 and priority was $31.00. I chose registered because some sellers informed me that delivery time is not that far apart. It's frustrating that I paid extra for the registered service and can not track it. I will go again tom. to see. I think from now on if I'm selling I will only use DHL. If you don't receive the coin and if gets list I will refund you coin@coin. I have green trust for a reason.
Bummer, I've shipped to the UK several times via USPS first class and priority... never once opted for registered international. I recall one occasion where a parcel was flagged for a customs inspection and held for about a week (disagreement in declared value), but did make it to the final destination.
For future reference, if you buy postage online it DOES include domestic tracking and final destination delivery confirmation for both first class and priority. Applies to all EU nations and many others. Looks like this (SFRB Priority Intl):
