Won't mention the supplier, and it cost $1.52US postage for something marco would charge $20US. Luckily the supplier included the postage in th epart's price. So is it USPS or the suppliers who are trying to rip us? I always get that USPS is the problem, but I'm unsure now!!

That's a good point. I NEVER lost a package from the USA to Australia. I've also heard that Aussie Post have lost packages over the years, but I've never had that problem. I think blaming USPS for the inflated prices is poor form, and just an excuse. I remember the days when it cost US$10 for a package that today costs $40..
