Bad news, a wicked amount.........I know you were determined to hit the birthday/xmas deadline.

Makes an even stronger argument in favour of the Balikbayan box. My Mrs has confirmed that there will be no extra charges/duty etc on the 60cm x 60cm x 60cm box currently being filled. Cost's about £80 plus you get a small box thrown in, once it's full and I've strapped it both guys will be needed to lift it on the van
