Help! Re: [meteorite-list] (Vaguely OT) Letter of Commendation

[Mark Bowling]

Hi Martin & List,

I do know that there are many strange circumstances for shipments to
Germany.  One method of shipping will eliminate a service (e.g.
insurance) offered with another shipping method.  The best way to find
out is to check: http://www.usps.com

It's usually pretty accurate giving quotes, but it depends on the postal
clerks training qualifications also.  Many times I get different answers
from different people.  This website might be very helpful for other
list members outside the U.S.  Just one of the many things a meteorite
collector must consider.

I hope it turns out well!

Take care,

Mark
