Gus,
I doubt very seriously that those are military shoes; but as you said, they will probably display well.
I bought a pair of boots from r-n-g a year or so ago. He makes a lot of his profit on postage, and if you read his feedback - especially his replies to the negative comments he has received - he's not the most pleasant chap to deal with.
Holzauge sei wachsam!
Cheers,
K-B

Gus,
Fortunately I never have to pass on items because of particularly expensive shipping. Shipping is always expensive to Australia!
Seriously though, I think that the Germans have the world's most ridiculously expensive mail system, followed by the French. I haven't tried most of the other European countries.
World's most economical mail system is the US postal Service and I think that Australia Post is also pretty good. UK postal system is not as bad as the continent but still more expensive than the US or Australia.
I don't know how the Germans do any business at all, they pay 2-3 times what the rest of the world pays to ship a similar item.

Hi All,
My understanding is that the German postal service is also one of the poorest. Years ago when we were traveling in Europe, we sent post cards home to friends, from Germany it cost two bucks a pop, and when we hit Poland it cost about 15 cents US (actually we had to pay in Zwaty). I have found that British postage is one of the highest.

Janet had this brilliant idea one year to mail all of our hundreds of Christmas cards during a trip to Ireland. She bought these beautiful cards with the sentiment written in Gaelic. Turns out, however, that the cards were just a hair bigger than letter size. This required extra postage. Through stickers and stamps and address labels at about two dollars apiece. It was a heck of a Christmas!
