I ship small packets to the US all the time, for usually no more than £3 (without insurance). Most only contain a single figure that I make sure is well padded and the box reinforced with polystyrene blocks to prevent crushing. The boxes I use are 2x5x6 inches. Never had any problems.

If you're sending more than a few figs then unfortunately there's no way around it, you have to go parcel and either eat the cost or add the cost to the customer's final fee.

Consider yourself lucky, the cost to ship from the US is usually twice as much.
