Oops, You're not going to challenge me to one on one basketball to figure this out, just to watch me try and jump 3 feet in the air to try and block your shots, are you Andy? ( I have to admit that the mental picture seems pretty funny to me as well!)

I have had issues with the TSA too on more than one occasion, in my case it was their attitude. During the last visit my wife had her carry on case searched because it contained an 'Ornamental Monkey',  ::) don't ask, made from solid resin, the scanner operator kept zoming in and out on it then asked for someone to come and check it visually.

As to shipping why not send by land, it takes weeks due to being sent by boat but it is many times cheaper.

Thanks Malcolm,
I'm not sure who to contact here in the states concerning marine shipping, but will look into it.
As far as the ornamental monkey, I think I'll let that one be!

I think my daughter said that USPS only do land now, I will ask her advice she does a lot of eBay-ing around the world.

Just spoke to her and sorry I got it wrong, they will only airmail now they do not ship by land, sounds odd that.

Hi Malc, we can still send stuff by sea to the US (snail mail) but for some reason or other they can only send stuff by airmail?, cheers Mick.
