   Hi Blari!   
      
   Thanks for the offer.  I'll take you up on this; direct email will follow.   
      
   As for the larger rate hike another poster mentioned coming early next year,   
   I believe I can get all of my planned overs out and back before this ...   
   should be easy.  So, I'll make sure I count up my exact needs and get just   
   enough to cover this.  If I need more in the future, well, I beg again :)   
      
   Just to confirm, tho, currently the rate is 89 cents for postage to the US,   
   right?   
      
   Thanks again,   
      
   Nick
