Well I just paid the freight on a package weighing around 19 lbs from London. I relied on my London contact who advised:
"......... the cheapest i have been quoted for Postage is £80-00 for surface mail for approximately 9kgs.
So I might as well send it courier, which will be slightly cheaper and you will receive it within 2-3 day pending customs rather than 3 to 4 weeks! .... (so)....postage cost will be £75-00...."
I did asked the shipper to use "Colletable and Antique" as part of the discription for customs.
With the dollar worth about 1/2 of a British pound, I am having sticker shock. I wonder how sugar from Central and South America could ever be traded in the US on a competitive basis. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif
