I have weighed my flies and they weigh .75 ounce without container, 1 ounce with (30 grams) if they are sent regular post overseas I can send them for 6.95. If I sent them UPS they cost less. But, if I demand that they get there in 3-4 weeks, then the cost is, indeed, $23.75. That is more than I can afford to pay for flies that cost me $.60 each or less to make. That is why I suggested that if each person sends all the others his snail mail address, we can put a single fly in each envelope and send it for 0.37 and get all the flies for less money by almost half..am I mistaken im my cost analysis? Thanks for your help in this matter. Joyce
