<p>I recently got a shipment from Denis Welch Racing.� I don't
remember the shipping cost, but it was relatively trivial compared
to the cost of the parts--around $100 IIRC--but the largest parts
were a cam, an oil pump and a box of pistons.� It was sent via
UPS, who collected another $37 from me; probably for customs.� One
silly thing is that DWR had to send a small bottle of cam lube via
the postal system--too scary for UPS I guess.</p>
<p>The idea of a VAT gets kicked around sometimes in the 'States; if
it was in lieu of some of the other taxes we pay--often disguised
as 'fees'--it might be a good thing overall, but I'm sure our
government would just add it to all the others.� After all, our
congressmen need large pensions and� the best health insurance
money can buy (both parties).<br>
