There's something odd about postage from US lately. Used to be reasonable, but seems to have got complicated recently. I've seen postage carges of almost $50 for something that'd fit in my pocket. Dunno if it's the retailers trying it on, or the postal system. When you get quoted almost $20 for a small gasket to the UK (and they know they'll lose the sale if it can't be done for $5) , summat's amis.
