True, I sent out a small package to Ireland the first day after the
changeover, and it took the lady (who had worked at the post office for 23
years) 15 minutes to figure out what to send it as. She quoted me different
prices, from $16 to $5.60! She finally charged me the $5.60 and siad it
would take 10 days to get there. She stamped the box "air mail" and "small
packet" and sent it off, but when I looked at the recipt, it said
"Ireland-letter-post-air" Ummmmmmmm, ok. Strange it is.
