    Just out of curiosity, I checked, and found that the average price for a one pound package from the Texas/US to Germany is about $ 50 to $ 60?! Is that about correct? Strikes me as pretty high ...

    What really grinds my gears is:
    Games don't come with good manuals anymore. Remember the Baldur's Gate + TotSC box? Two manuals with *everything* about the game.
    Rainbow six, same thing, every weapon was explained in detail.

    Now? One sheet with "Left mouse button for fire and right for aiming. Multiplayer works somehow too. Have a good game. Please don't pirate and stuff. Product code on the other side."

    Nah... not unless you're using some overnight delivery. :heh:

    Flat rate box shipping up to 20 pounds should be around $40 for postage only. Of course, it all depends on the shape, size, weight and speed of what you want delivered. If you're only shipping something small that could fit in a larger padded envelope, it shouldn't cost more than a few bucks.

    The US Postal Service has a wealth of online information that is complete and comprehensive. If you are curious, have a look. Here is the international shipping start page if you're interested.

    [​IMG] First day of uni was strangely tiring :sleep:

    Need to get stuff up on ebay for a friend now and catch up with three weeks of internet activity, gasp!

    Will also need to get a lot of coursework done for the next three weeks.
    Tidy my room for a visitor who will be staying a week.
    Find a flat with Sal as we've STILL not got somewhere and it's getting ridiculous.

    [​IMG] Thanks. We're considering looking into two bedroom flats so we have enough room to work in as well and maybe have a painting room. Or even just a spare room for visitors to stay in. Would be amazing if we could have friends stay as they haveto travel so far to see us nowadays.

    Flat hunting sucks, glad mine's signed... best of luck, peeps. You might find a diamond in the rough, just like I did.

    [​IMG] BTA,
    thanks a lot :) ... now what the f*** is an ounce in metric?! Now, anyway, it is fitting for the federal post service of a global hegemon to calculate in imperial measurement units :D

    :D

    There are 16 ounces in a pound. ~2.2 pounds to a kilogram, so ~35.2 ounces to a kilo.

    On exams down four to go! It went well, really well in fact. Ironically the hardest part for me was to limit myself to 3 pages, the maximum allowed per answers. I had so much to write about! Anyway, only four left! Woo-hoo!

    And, whatever happened to the German thread in Bom? I liked it, it provided me well, the only place I could actually use the language. As none of my friends speaks it. Ich möchte nicht mein Deutsch lösen!

    Does anyone know why body hair seems to grow to a finite length, but the hair on the top of your head can seemingly go forever?

    And even those will vanish soon with downloadable games appearing everywhere. I remember my Starcraft manual had a detailed history of each of the races and My Half-Life had concept art and told you exactly what was going to happen ingame (well...for the first part anyway). :o
