Forgive the double posting, but I hit the wrong button too quickly: the other thing to think about to balance this conversation is this: It costs more to ship something that what you pay the postal service. The package to put the CD in so that it doesn't get scratched, the time to go to the Post office, etc. All this adds up in time and investment. So, eight dollars may seem like an excessive amount when all you look at is the postage cost, can actually become a bargain when you consider all the other costs. What this all means is that it may seem that you got the "CD for free but pay way too much for shipping" treatment, when in fact you did get a bargain. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16! http://risenbooks.com Christian bookstore --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
