*All that being said*, parcels containing small items which used to be sent sea-mail at reasonable rates and kind of got there when they got there and that was fine are not being eroded by email in any way shape or form. *I* have a need for that service. So do a bunch of small businesses who send small things overseas. I don't know the whys and wherefores but this seems to be a question of the corporate entity doing what's convenient for THEM and not what their public actually wants or needs to have them do. And that's just oogy.
