                                      European campaign and major battle, and 
                                      then a CD on each of the Pacific Theater

                                      Service. Delivery in the USA normally takes 
                                      5 to 10 days and may take up to 4 weeks 
                                      on occasion depending on slow downs, peak 
                                      periods or misdirected mail.  All cd orders are mailed 
                                      first class mail in sturdy cd mailers and 
                                      are in compliance with published USPS rates 
                                      as non-machineable letter sized mail dimensions. Your CD should arrive in 
                                      perfect condition. Extra postage is paid 
                                      to not bend or machine sort the CDs. Light 
                                      scuffing doesn't affect CD use. It doesn't 
                                      happen very often but if you get one that 
                                      you aren't happy with let me know. Any problems 
                                      with the CD please send me an email. At the time of this writing, 
                                      actual letter sized mail postage is $1.47 
                                      for a 1.6oz. 2cd order and $1.75 for a 2.4oz. 
                                      3 cd order. The postage due amount is derived 
                                      from the official USPS 123 price sheet and 
                                      by USPS online calculations. Both are the 
                                      same. The 6"x6", max. 1/4" 
                                      thickness size of the mailer meets the letter 
                                      size specifications and DOES NOT meet the 
                                      USPS published specifications for PARCEL 
                                      SIZED mail. As letter sized mail, a small 
                                      surcharge of $.46 is paid for the item being 
                                      non-machineable per published USPS prices. About once or twice a year 
                                      some unscrupulous USPS employee will very 
                                      dishonestly misapply a much higher parcel 
                                      rate to these cd mailers by calling them 
                                      parcel mail because they are non-machineable. 
                                      Parcel mail rates are about 4 times higher 
                                      than letter mail. Parcel mail rates are 
                                      $5.85 for a 2 cd mailer. A cd mailer mailed 
                                      to Europe goes from $2.73 to $22.05 if charged 
                                      parcel rates. This is a USPS rip-off and 
                                      it's not due. For this reason a special 
                                      warning sticker is applied to the front 
                                      reading "To USPS-This is a letter sized 
                                      mail piece with non-machineable surcharge 
                                      paid. Charging postage due for parcel rates 
                                      is subject to postal fraud charges." When this over charging 
                                      occurs to an item mailed, the USPS will 
                                      either return it to me or deliver it with 
                                      some amount postage due. If this happens 
                                      to you, DO NOT PAY IT. Let me know immediately 
                                      and tell them to hold it and wait for a 
                                      phone call from a USPS business mail manager. 
                                      I'll have to make a few phone calls in the 
                                      USPS to get it released without postage 
                                      due. You may pay it but if you 
                                      do I CANNOT REFUND OR REIMBURSE YOU the 
                                      postage overpaid nor refund you for your 
                                      purchase. You got ripped off by the USPS. 
                                      Instead, I can give you a USPS number to 
                                      complain to for a refund. PRODUCT DISCLAIMER
