If you originally specified USPS, Katie will be recommending that you 
upgrade to UPS, because the postal services don't offer sufficient 
insurance cover.

The day after the package had left Aptos, UPS were calling from East 
Midlands Airport with the ransom demand for VAT. That can be paid by 
plastic over the phone.

Delivery was the following day, with nothing more to pay.
