        Given that the estimate is 15lbs, it might
        come in under 8kg. A six week slow boat
        saves 30UKP (about 45USD).

        I was willing to wait when my manual
        was shipped .... and it did indeed take
        the whole of the estimated six weeks!

        I suppose it depends how desperate you
        are to get the manuals and disks!
