Most consumer goods travel by sea, unless they need to get there yesterday. Retailers apply far too much price-pressure to allow air freight unless there's no alternative. I used to work for an industrial electronics manufacturer and a number of project meetings I attended had some interesting discussions about freight and packaging. Those who attend meetings regularly will understand how a discussion about freight could possibly seem interesting. - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
