Default Cheapest Shipment to UK, India or China?

Hi all,
Just wondering from experience if it's cheaper to ship from China or India to the UK. I know it's fairly expensive from China, just wondered if India or other major manufacturing nations was the same...

It depends what you are shipping - some Chinese companies I have talked to have been very cheap with FOB to my local port. Much better than I could organise myself anyway

as strange as it sounds, it is probably cheaper from china, as a vast majority of (full) international shipping originates from there.
