dear shippy
UPS is great in the usa ...
indeed the free shipping offered by many sites USA to USA is amazing
soon as one crosses the border then (to quote long john baldry)  "let the
heart ache begin"
if you have usa address to receive then good stuff ...
combine trip with pick up .. cool ..
also the weakening american $ makes the deal appear to be a good idea on
thursday
takes a few days to get to bank here and get money order etc...
the dollar in the usa gathers some strength and between that and the customs
excise ...
you forfeit $$ advantage
yours
