    sorry for the late reply... i dont get to check often, not to mention its assignment season now.

    if i am not wrong, USPS express is about $30 to ship a straight razor, it was about $25 with Priority Mail International.

    in other words, it is not very expensive. it does seem cheaper initially because of the insurance fees, registering it, etc; but once you add up all the fees with priority mail international, usps express becomes quite competitive.

    Maybe I shouldn't say this but I got some horn blanks from the UK 4 days after I paid for them!!!!
    Now that's service.
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...

    I have had some parcels from the UK come in 4 or so day, the longest i have waited for orderes from the UK is about 2 weeks.

    I have had items from the US a little quicker as of late, it only seems to be taking 2 weeks not 2 months

    I'll be impressed with any of the postal services when they start to deliver my packages the day before I order them!

    USPS has been very fast for me the last two US orders I have made, delivery in a week or so. Just waiting for my TI Spartacus to come through from France.

    Good to hear you have success with US orders
    I am giving them another try
    I have heard delivery times are improving
    Should receive my package on Friday
    If the 2 weeks delivery time is correct
    I will post in Show and Tell

    UK shipping mostly seems to be quite good
    Sadly the 2 occasions I have purchased items from Europe
    Delivery times varied from 6 weeks to nearly 9 weeks
    On the plus side everything arrived in perfect condition

    Have a god week everyoine

    Rick
    As always look around and compare prices

    Thank for the tip mate
    Dyslexic fingers doing their own thing again

    Careful the wife doesn't have a fry pan in hand
    And try to adjust the "God complex" thing with it
    As long as you hide the fry pan you will be fine

    Cheers for now
