Very true. I never offer surface shipping because it can take many
weeks but the overseas types go insane when they hear the air shipping
costs.

Is George Kerby another name for Mr. Strat? If not...

How is sub-surface shipping?

The costs of air shipping to the UK or the EU from Japan and the US
used to be similar. Now the cost of air shipping to the UK or the EU
from the US has rocketed up to far more than air shipping from Japan
or any other country. That's why there's so much noise about US air
shipping rates to other countries. I used to buy from and recommend a
number of US suppliers of photographic gear for their excellent
quality and prices. It would now be silly for anyone outside the US to
buy from them. The new US air shipping rates have priced it out of the
world market for retail sales.

What happened? Isn't anyone in the US worried about this?

We are two different people who have never met, but both recognize you
for the retarded troll you play so well.
