I have had lots of trouble with customs who jump at the chance to zap the sender and receiver with outrageous costs. It is not so much the P.O. as the cuatoms on this side. I have found myself paying £100 for a scarf to be delivered.<br /><br />Parsnip: three is going it a bit:)<br /><br />Maurcheen; personal delivery is better:)<br /><br />Naomi: that is a lovely thought but do read what I have said to Neena<br />about our Customs who are relentless and have caused me problems in the past.
