I need to write this again for some readers:

Please give your location in any email correspondence - it is NOT apparent from your email address.

  
     
 
 For example if you are Nackercracker1888@greensnail.com you may be from the UK, but more likely you are from the Americas, Australia, or even one of the surrounding galaxies. I don't know where you are unless you tell me. Sometimes we do get a hint of your location from the email content - many of our customers (and many friends too..) are from Planet Zarg or Zorillo - but it is not sufficient for an accurate postage quote. Also apologies to Nackercracker1888 if he is out there. And postage to Zarg is really expensive at this time of year..
