		<description>Since you offer free shipping in the UK on orders over £10, why not give International buyers a discount on shipping (equivalent to what a UK buyer would get) on orders over £10? 

Just an idea.....</description>

		<description>I guess I have just been lucky, judging from these comments.  I have had great service (quick and accurate) with my parcels from the UK, Europe at large, Japan and Korea, Australia, and Canada.  I haven&#039;t received anything from the Middle East yet.  Latin America is the rough spot.

I do like the mail services because I can get delivery to my postal box.  FedEx has store locations that can help, but UPS is useless without a physical address.

So far, the only place that the shipping was out of range was from Australia to the US - for a jar of paper clips.  S/H was 60 USD!

Just call me one silly, contented Yank :)</description>

		<description>Having had numerous issues with Royal Mail I too have been exploring alternatives - there really is no competition for small items and we need competition if for nothing other than an incentive for Royal Mail to improve!  I like Collect Plus for parcels - the £4 large jiffy bag up to 2kg is excellent value...however I know Collect Plus is not convenient for everyone nor every shipment.

Personally I always try to make decent sized orders and I don&#039;t mind paying for a reliable delivery service.  I think you are doing the best you can with the options Royal Mail offer us Brits!</description>

		<description>This is one reason I teach handwriting - I have helped many teenagers develop a writing style - clear, fluid and swift - in order to cope with exams.  Having taken 6 hour exams myself I know it is hard work, but it is possible.

Sadly I am not surprised that students have trouble - I also teach 7 year olds who have finished their formal handwriting education without being able to clearly write the alphabet. They and their parents are being told &quot;handwriting doesn&#039;t matter.&quot;  I disagree.  Handwriting is an amazing skill, requires zero electricity (works in power cuts!) and has many benefits beyond merely putting words upon a page.

Thank you for highlighting this!</description>
