I agree"! it is not now possible to send parcels surface mail from the USA, only by airmail which is massively expensive. That ends my massive book buying when over there.

Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA 'm sure you are joking Susan! I purchase things over the internet all the time s here in our tiny Malta too many craft things, lace threads, books etc are imply unavailable due to the size of the market - and I have been doing this or quite a few years now. I barely go out to look for something I may need as y first reaction is to "consult" my computer. nfortunately, if at all possible, I avoid buying things from Australia or the SA because of the hideous postal rates! I get them from there only if it is a ast resort. Likewise I avoid Italy and Spain - Spain because of the language arrier and Italy because the postal service has quite a bad reputation. he UK and other European countries come first on the list.
