medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Meg,
This April, I used an M-Bag in sending books I'd bought at a
conference in the States to my home in England. There were 20 pounds
of books, and the delivery cost $19.95 (I paid about $4 for someone
to pack the books properly.) Delivery was made about 7 weeks later,
so don't use this if you are in a hurry.
