I had a seller just this spring post a drawing tube
containing a rare plate of the first aerial photo ever
taken of Stonehenge sent by ship !
I took about 2 months to get here @%$#^.......
For about a fiver (or about half that, if your think Sterling) one can have a Kilo of
near
instant gratification delivered to the door in about two days with electronic tracking.
A friend of mine last year sent a large package of christmas presents
home to Australia. He paid ?60 for postage, the guy in the Post Office
ticked the wrong box and it went the slow way.
It was posted in November and arrived in May. At least by then they
assumed it was lost and give him ?400 compensation. I don't think it
was worth the grief his mother gave him for "Forgetting about us, now
you live over there etc."
