Well seeing as this is public I guess I should respond to this publicly
1st. Lets keep the facts straight.
I erred in attempting to get an online postage quote when quoting you a revised price based on international shipment.
That was my error as i have not done international shipping since I worked in a corporate office 8 years ago, and then we used Fed-Ex.
2.
When I went to the PO the day you paid for your item I realized shipping would run me $10.00 more than I anticipated. well I am in business. I Pay paypal fees and other fees, too many fees, I dont make any money. so I chose to ship an alternate cheaper method for me, however you stated that this would caus e aproblem for you. We negotiated and you offered to spilt the differnec in the additional shipping cost. I Agreed. 3 days later I find that you did paypal me the diff, even though you indicated you would mail it. Sorry I dont hawk my paypal acct unless i am knowingly expecting funds or buying an item.
So when I found the additional shipping payment I proceed to the Post office.
Now here is your error and possibly the error of the person you spoke with at USPS. and I will quote from their website and you can verify this yourself.
I was told no shipping express mail to PO Boxes.
and here is the quote:
3. Express Mail shipments must have a street address. Post office box addresses should not be used. A local telephone number for addressee should be provided if possible.
Areas Served: All

This backed the claim the girl at the counter gave me. So I emailed you Friday requesting a street address.
Unfortunately... This was my next error, I failed to inform you that I actually am a REAL sound engineer who travels mixing concerts as well as being a Studio guy at the House.
I went out of town last weekend for a few shows.
My hotel had free internet access so I used it to my advantage. I Don't however check my email on the road as I don't have a laptop and was using the Hotels computer. So I might miss a few things. Especially with them wanting to charge me .50 cents per minute over 20 minutes of computer use.
Well I have returned from my travels and I see me getting blasted publically. Guess what. Paypal has my correct Phone Number. Did you try calling me 1st?
Anyway, Your pkg will get shipped in the morning when I have had a chance to go to the bank. Sorry for this inconvenience. I am not a known international shipper and sometimes stuff falls through the cracks.
Many apologies for my errors in this matter. this was not an intentional thing.
But I was expecting you to respond to the need for a new address last week before I left town, not this week ... 3 days after I emailed you telling you they would not ship to a PO box.
Thanks and Peace.
