Well that's it really - hope you lot
out there can get yer prices right
when yer sending yer packages to
Finland etc, just get some means of
measuring how heavy yer package is.
Use the scales in yer house, but get
the price right, it could get your
package their quicker, or it could
cost you less,but at least its saving
you time (you don't have to go down
to the post office to get it weighed)
