Someone on the Mangement Committee? I was a someone once. Now I'm just a 
whoever. Someday I'll be a whatshisname, but that beats being an "Oh, him!"

Thinking out loud here -- Relative volume isn't so much an issue here; so it's 
a question of the relative weights, right? I think we (how victorian) could 
weigh the various items, figure the UPS shipping price for each unique weight 
(a little rounding up will simply things here) and then apply the rates 
accordingly to each item.  I can do this if no one else has the notion. I need 
to know what kind of case ships with which DVD (or do they all weigh the same), 
or what the total package weight typcially is.



Part of the complication is that we have something like 30plus items for sale 
although many of these are the same shippingwise (this DVD or  that) this TAG 
or that PAM.

When was the last time we adjusted unit or shipping prices?

Done, on website stuff.  Wow, we're catching up fast -- so only 2008 TAGs 
remain in back issues -- Cheryl, I'm gonna need those PDFs for the e-archive...

In terms of "flat", I was thinking more along the lines of including the 
shipping PER item.  i.e., individual TAG or PAM - $3 extra; APH $7 extra; etc.  
Then I could have the website show two options for each purchase, the domestic 
and foreign.

Maybe we could get someone on the management committee to calculate a ballpark 
cost to ship each of these types of items.
