I would like to place an order in a UK store. The store's splash page has
the shipping prices listed but they do not list which countries are for each
zone.
Can someone from the UK please tell me what zone the US would be in and what
the shipping may cost for an order weighing 631.58g please?

Thank you,
Cass T

Shipping from UK is dependent on both size/dimensions of packet as well as weight.
The size/dimension will also contribute to the weight of packaging which only
the seller can tell you depending on how he packs the order. There are also different
shipping services available. Always ask the individual seller for a shipping
price. Does he have quote enabled?

The store does not have quotes enabled. I have reached out to the store on Jan.
3 and again on Jan. 6 and I still have not received an answer. The store also
does not have instant checkout active.
A store not answering a question is a first for me, so I am a little bit baffled
by this.

It is probably best to go with a different store, where you will know the full
costs before ordering.

Royal Mail zone 3.

Sorry can’t help with cost, this will probably depend on package dimensions.

This will give you an idea assuming they use Royal Mail:-

https://www.royalmail.com/sites/royalmail.com/files/2022-04/royal-mail-our-prices-april-2022-v2.pdf

But if they are shipping an order of the weight you've mentioned it will
most likely need to be sent at small parcel rate which will be about £20-£25
to USA (World Zone 3)
