"Thanks to Gordon, I just checked the Canada post rate for this to New
Zealand ( it was not on the print-out post-office note in lieu of a postage
stamp) . $6.44 Canadian or about $5.34 US.
Henrys charged about $16.95 US. "

There is NO postal charge at all showing on the "Small Packet" I looked for
that as soon as I had it in my hands. Just the printed-out slip which says

and the weight on the green Customs declaration.
No mention at all about postal charge.
A few items on the printed glued-on slip have been blacked out but I can read
through the black-out and none deal with postal charge..
Weird
A learning experience I didn't need. So I pass it on for the benefit of others..
The amount showing on my PayPal record is exactly what they had on the
auction page. When I saw I had won the auction I correctly anticipated that
the real postal charge would be tiny (as indicated on the Canada Post web-
site) and e-mailed them requesting an adjustment to take the very small
gross weight into account. They ignored my e-mail - no reply and no
adjustment.
Based on this experience, I'd be surprised if they would now enter into any
correspondence on the matter ( or any other)..
