Or is it a customs thing?

Daniel: You know the US flat rate shipping is such a good deal that I never even considered customs once I looked at how expensive shipping to Canada, Great Britain, Serbia etc would be. I do know when I ship my knives etc to foreign lands the extra paper work is a bit of a hassel and the fees are incredibly high . And knives are way lighter than rocks! I mainly didn't want to exclude other international members while including Canada even were they not so expensive to ship too. As I said in my original post, I'll try to accumulate some slabbettes and in the future have another contest that will have a prize light enough that I can afford to ship it anywhere.

Tweetie: I'm so sorry! As I've told Daniel, I'll do a slab contest in the future sometime for everyone to play. And, nope no leopardskin jasper in the lot. It's all a mix of material from within a five mile circle of our ranch....mel

Hey Mel no hard feelings, I just wanted to know if that was leopardskin in there - looks like it -

I know how expensive shipping gets, I got a huge box from Cuervo73 and it cost almost $30 to ship it to me - Kim sent a few slabs & it was about $15US to ship to me - wish we had flat rate boxes here - I got two slabs off ebay from BC and she charged me $8 to ship it and it cost her $9.20 to send
