Many European post offices sell "mailing kits" with a box and tape. I wasn't doing this to avoid duties, just to avoid lugging stuff around, so that may be the difference, but if you wouldn't have to declare it hand-carrying it back, you shouldn't have to for mailing it yourself either. Sounds like you got had by the store. Liz Vaughan ...tektronix!tektools!lizv
