    Candy - you can take it to the post office and pay cash. I find you might aswell do this with bigger items as you have to go there anyway. If i have small items i print the postage via paypal and put them in the postbox to avoid the PO queues!

    Thanks very much - I alwatys overestimate the postage so the difference is better in my pocket than theirs.
