We have all the stuff that we get sent to my parents. We just don't trust the mail system since we have already lost some items. Parcel services are usually too expensive. The delivery costs more than the product. I now know why Mexicans pay the higher price for items here. Stuff is cheaper on the other side of the border, but if you don't have anyone that can bring it in for you, you just can't afford to have it shipped, or risk having it never arrive. We are fortunate in that usually we don't have to wait more than a couple of months for stuff. This time was the exception.

Would it be easier for me to get stuff for you and then send it?

Or is it pretty much all a wash for you? For some reason, the only music I have a desire to put in my podcast is transition music. Would it be easier for me to get stuff for you and then send it?
