Tell me about it!! My DD, hubby & my 5 DGK live in China. When sent Christmas pkgs it nearly breaks me. One time postage was $91, $85, etc! Anything is expensive.... Oh, last Dec. I send Christmas gifts & it took 3 wks to get there. One got there in 1 wk. The other got lost, checked into it, good news: they found it; bad news it was in Mexico. So that pkg went from Texas to Chicago, to Mexico & finally to China!! So they got belated Christmas gifts.... But only way to ship. I has asked what ever happened to "that slow boat to China?"...
