Now before I begin I would like to make it clear that this is not an
insult, or the start of a flame war.

Ok, that said...WHO THE HELL STILL USES GROUND MAIL FOR OVERSEAS POST. I
mean really, how much more can it cost to send it airmail, and save weeks
in delivery time. I have lived in Africa and know what slow postage can be.
I got my 11th birthday presents, 7 months after they were sent. But even
then they had sent it to Nigeria airmail, it was the in country postage
that screwed up. Lets get with the times a little and think about the other
guy a little. Send it airmail, or maybe even UPS.
