Re: Shipping Cost for the Smartwords Beta Release

" Yes, we will look at the international shipping charges and make sure they

	Is the cost high because TTG insists on
	using United Parcel Service (UPS) rather
	than an ordinary airmailing via the U.S.
	Postal Service?

	UPS may be good business-to-business in
	the U.S., but it is pretty poor at delivering
	to homes (we work and are out), mailboxes (never)
	and non-U.S. countries (115 of them).
