Today, I notified a member in the USA that his "box of blanks" had been awarded. To Skiprat - in Europe. I ship international enough to know that his box of blanks will be limited to 14 pounds and he will have to do "international Customs" paperwork and pay about $35 for the box (if he stays under 14 pounds). The prize was originally going to include corian pieces, if it were me, the corian would stay in the USA - too HEAVY for the trip to UK>
So, I suggest we try to get some of the UK guys to donate prizes that will be WON by UK members. IF we had a prize assigned and it is won by Europe or Australia - the winner can either pay the shipping, or take a prize from his part of the world.
OTHERWISE, I am afraid the USA guys will be afraid to donate "box of blanks" (which we have 25ish this year) because they are planning on $10 shipping, within USA, but encounter $35 to Europe.
FWIW
