[Leica] Latest from Blurb for European users...

[nickbroberts at yahoo.co.uk (Nick Roberts)]

On the issue of the LUG yearbook, I have been in correspondence with Blurb, 
and one of my points was as follows:

"I would suggest that using UPS for overseas orders does you no favours 
whatsoever, and will seriously cramp your export business. It is absurd to 
pay more for shipping than for the book itself, and UPS are far from the 
most convenient delivery agent in the UK or I think mainland Europe. The 
USPS would give your overseas customers substantially better value, and thus 
I am sure would give you significantly increased sales."

I have now received this response:

"You are quite correct about UPS, and we are VERY close to an alternative 
solution. We're contracting with a printing plant in Europe, so we can 
sidestep international shipping all together. "

So - too late for my copy, but it should mean a much more sensible option 
for those of us this side of the pond in future, and that has to make any 
future such efforts a fair bit easier.

And, of course, once again, many, many thanks to Jim!
