That's pretty good. My internet provider has faster speeds than my Lite of 
course, but it is too expensive. Lite is usually ok for me, except for 
downloading but I don't usually download games, but now that a couple of new 
adventure games are coming out, it will take me a lot longer than it will 
take you. and part 2 of BS5 will be coming out in another week and that will 
probably take me 3 hours like part 1 did.

I was wondering why you would have to pay postage at the door. Or was it 
Customs duty or tax? The only reason I can think of that you would have to 
pay would be if you owed money to the UK Customs if the value was over your 
Customs exemption. But your exemption I am pretty sure is far more than we 
have in Canada whic is only a measly $20.00 Do you know what the charges you 
had to pay were for?

I've had a lot of experience through the years sending and getting packages 
from the US and the UK from individuals and from 
Amazon.com/Amazon.uk/amazon.ca and Ebay.com, so I have a good idea how much 
the postage is from and to the U.S and UK who I've mostly dealt with. But I 
usually only buy items less than $20.00. I only had to pay Customs duty and 
13% tax and duty once from an item from the U.K. From the US it would be 
13%, no duty. That was paid to the post office as they collect the customs 
tax for Customs, and a Post office "handling fee".

I played that boxes one too. I dont remember which one. I didn't mind the 
boxes too much. there are worse tasks to do in some games. All that moving 
around boxes reminds me of Twinsens Odyssey, which I thought was a very good 
game. I replay it now and then . Its adventure/action.quite a cute game.
