    You are very correct. The actual mailing and physical shipping is
    the least of my problems too. Once I had to send my "FREE-diamond
    setting note" package directly to another country, the customs duty
    and paper-declaration on it stated it was as a 'gift' even as that
    stated cost me more that what I thought. Some of these internationaly
    packages were in excess of $13.00 each! Then you multiply that number
    by 8-9 and you see that the 'going quoted' rates of $10.00 is 'OLD'
    already. If I wanted the package to arrive faster in 3 days, it would
    have been ONLY $32-45.00 per delivery..and this is from Toronto,
    Canada. 

    I cannot quote ahead of time, as I am not a postal office with all
    kinds of postal information at our tips. But my newer setting CD, due
    for next year, will avoid all of these shipping and 'customs'
    problems. Basically for my situation, its not the contents but the
    weight and size of each mailing item.... 

Gerry!
