As it happens I have never ordered from GoWesty --- but they do have a couple of goodies I've been thinking about. I'd call and beg them to ship USPS -- if they wouldn't I'd look at picking up the items somewhere, the next time I'm in the US --- or I'd source the item elsewhere. In short, if it's going to come by UPS I don't want it..........because my blood pressure can't take the usurious brokerage charges. Doug
