[National] Re: [Heathkit] New Postal rates will cause Internationalsticker shock

[jeremy-ca]

I ship from 3-5 Economy Parcel Post packages a week and have been doing it 
for many years. Canada is run by numb bureaucrats so it can be anywhere from 
2-8 weeks and distance has nothing to do with it! I also ship around 20 Air 
Letter or Air Parcel packages to Canada a week and those take 1-4 weeks; go 
figure.

Europe takes 4-8 weeks but each country is consistent. Australia has been 
real slow the past 6 months with 8-10 weeks the norm.
