frankly, if I were to complain about a $5 overcharge in shipping, I could post

Helmut is correct. I ship First Class oversees and find it typically arrives
close to the 6-10 days Priority claims to. Significantly cheaper.
Interestingly, I find foreign buyers for the most part to be more reasonable

I also agree with Kirby on this, but I go one step further: In my humble
