Welcome to KAS, Matt from over in Canada. I am sure sorry about the hassles your Mum had at the Post Office. Weight and size of parcel can make a heck of a difference in how much one get's charged. Here they know to ship it sea-mail for me, takes 6-12 weeks but always arrives. I can ship for $8 Canadian but it can jump over certain weights to $24 but that's still MUCH less than what you got dinged for. Crikey no wonder people use the Internet more with those prices eh? Anyways, to quit griping I'll go on to say....I find KAS such a rewarding cause to be involved in and I hope you enjoy it too. Your Mum did a stellar job on all those hats by the way and shouldn't have to show them the open package, just seal it up. Do check out the New Member Guide which is found by clicking "Main Page" in the header above. To reach the Discussions just click Forum above and if you click on Photos above, you will see items that are heading to Africa, in all colors and shapes, plus those that have arrived there. Any questions just PM me. :) So, welcome to Knit A Square! Blankets and hats and sweaters direct from our hands to their hearts, a win-win.
Dear Matt, please would you give this rose to your Mum to say we are trying to sort the issue out and hopefully she will recover very quickly from this disappointing experience. All the best, Pam
