Oh, I hate to be a spoiler...I'm not usually...But a note of caution where shipping costs are concerned

I sent a tiny, weeny package to the US a couple of months ago, it measured approx. 4" x 4" (yes, inches!!!) and really didn't weigh very much at all (I can't remember exactly) via Royal Mail.

Postage on that size was well over £10....

Yeah it is pretty expensive, I can't remember how much postage I paid last time we took part but I'm pretty sure it was about £30-£40. I don't mind because I am prepared for it, and I will be setting money aside for it if we do decide to take part again. I just don't want US members to be dissapointed if they get us that is all. But I will be prepared for the price and will try and keep my package as light as possible but still full of nice gifts.

You paid that much for my licorice and lamb cubes ????

Do you remember how your ChokeFree was mailed? They couldn't have paid much for it given the reasonable shipping they charged you

Is it possible to send (and would you be disappointed to give or receive) mostly or only gift vouchers for items?

just now realizing my bad grammar. That's what I get for tryin to get on YT on the sly while at work.

Kaji's doing great. He's nekkid now, no more topknot and beard. on the bright side, he'll be 4 this year. I'm trying to learn how to make him a cake for his birthday.

I didn't even think about the price I would have to pay to ship a package to the UK!!! I would imagine it would have to be a pretty light package, and I feel like I would be incredibly limited on the things I could purchase, and the shipping would be pretty hefty on the senders end!

You were worth every penny! Plus it was 'Air Mail' - or you wouldn't have got it for about 7 weeks, apparently!!

My Choke Free - I don't remember - but it took a while to get here....

Also, with the British Royal Mail - it's not just the weight but the size it measures that counts. My first box was quite big, but hardly weighed any more than the little one (Monster Munch etc etc...!!!) - now that would have been stupid money...

None of it matters, so long as you're prepared for it....it's worth getting a couple of quotes first (and not just from Royal Mail!) especially the way postage is rocketing in a week or so Sally x
