<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">My experience from the receiving end in Canada is similar. We get regular FedEx
shipments, but it's hit and miss - sometimes the charge is minimal (<$50), other
times the charge exceeds the value of the goods (>$75 for something valued at
$15!!!). Postal seems to be the safest bet as far as charges go.</span></font></div>
