medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear George,
That was April. The rates changed May 14, and MBags, which I was planning to use,
are no longer possible, as I was informed both by my local post office and by the (much less friendly)
person who answered the 800 number in Washington DC. (on about May 18, i.e. if I'd gotten to
the PO a week earlier they would have gone through!)
Meg

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.
George
