I am thinking about ghaving my credit card company undoing Note that DHL shipping is always expensive. That's their price.It's fast and it is two day air mail. It has to be kind of blamed to ourselves that we didn't negotiate that beforehand. > the transaction. I think we shouldnt do business with these guys anymore. Don't be so harsh :-) The price we payed ($ 33.00 vs. $ 48.00 single list price) is OK. I asked at my local book store and their price would have been more than DM 110,-- (at least they said, more likely more). Paying around DM 80,-- (including shipping within Europe) is OK. Again, for the future, say, BSD 4.5 (:-) we should think of better shipping modalities. > > Any other advise of your side maybe? > > -Guido --Chris Christoph P. U.
