Listen, I am not payed by then. I stated a fact. None of you have to go through the hassles of shipping like anyone over seas. If you were over charged then that is your fault for not verifying the shipping. To get the katana to Guam via UPS was almost $400. I made sure to verify first. I made this statement because no other company would take the plane out of the original box and repack it for me to get it to me. I would have to send the over sized box to relatives and have them repack it for me and send it via USPO. Almost all of you have the luxury of UPS, FedEx, DHL, Greyhound. Us out here don't have that luxury. So we deal with what we have and can get. I guess thats the price to pay fore having beautiful flying weather year round with a temp of around the mid 80s.
