[meteorite-list] shipping costs.

[Dave Harris]

Hi,
On some of the issues that Bernhard  raised - it does cost around $5 to $7
to send from the UK to the States - allowing for the purchase of a padded
bag, the packing time, the queuing at the Post Office (very lengthy here!)
and then sending as 'signed for' delivery.  Shipping costs are NOT just the
price of the stamp!
But it is important that the seller does not rip the punter off - it DOES
leave a bad taste in one's mouth when a milligram piece is sent costing $10!

Mike Farmer seems to charge minimal prices and I always appreciated that!

just my $0.02 worth FWIW


Thanks
