IMPORTANT NOTE ON SHIPPING
Our current membership folder and package is rather large and postage prices have been sky rocketting during the pandemic and with other political issues going on at the moment. We are looking at producing a smaller membership pack in the future to reduce postage costs. In the meantime, postage costs for the current membership pack are below. Note also that postal "World Zones" have changed and postage prices to the USA have become some of the most expensive (not sure why, perhaps due to local US postal price increases).
