First, a question... I thought UKP and that little symbol next to the 12 (sorry, it's not on my keyboard) referred to the same thing. But you've got two different values listed there. What's the story? Just curious. Anyhoo... I often have the same problem with stuff coming into Canada from the US. So I suggest that you do what I do for future orders you place with out-of-country businesses: request them to mark the package as promotional material and declare it to have no value, or at least a low value like a dollar a disc. Some places won't do this, but most smaller businesses (like s://kimo and probably FE) will. Greg
