Hi I think they saw it through cutoms inspections and from the UPS invoice. I know a lot of people misdeclare the number of items they send out but I'm really against doing such thing. I'm currently using a UPS reseller, I think its better I switch to sending my conus shells via normal post. Thanks for the info regarding the quantity, I was about to consider labelling the shells as shell keychains. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
