Easy....sent off a bank cheque drawn in US$ to PBR today.
Took a few minutes and cost $21 which was just added to the total.
+ registered International envelope $12 ?
No mate, standard 'Air Mail' stamp of $2.10....and kissed her goodbye.
In 32 years and HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of parcels each way from the USA and Canada and nothing has ever gone missing
Great - So it is not that bad at all.
I'm "missing" my second package from the USA in 10 years. Small package with parts to finish off three machines. Just waiting on the "three month" time to elapse before making the insurance claim. But I re ordered the bits again anyway !
