Mental note (again), regarding shipping methods to Jim for painting tins....William ( @DogBunny ), Have you looked into PirateShip? Been using 'em about 6mo or so. Their rates are about 40 - 50% less than going to the actual shipper. I've shipped overseas with 'em and was surprised at how much cheaper it is.
Makes overseas affordable again.
