I do the same thing. I also take orders from other people in our club.
The greatest number of separate shipments for one order so far has been
7. heh. I feel as though I get my moneys worth. On the other hand I'm at
the whim of the exchange rate. I ordered a huge order at 1.55 exchange
and it's jumped to 1.64 so far and I still have backordered items. sigh.
That's cost me almost $50 bucks in exchange. I'm not happy about that,
but what can you do?
