A 20 gram Henbury can be shipped to the UK for under
$2.00. The minumum for one ounce to the USA in a
bubble envelope is now $1.13, yet I can send the same
bubble envelope to the UK for $1.01.
Actually cheaper to send overseas for less than one
ounce packet, than to send to my next door neighbor.
The US government shows us how smart it is again.
