Bryan:
When I wrote the new "Join BRHS" and the "Renew Membership to BRHS"
features, I included the option for "airmail" or "surface". The
airmail I assumed as just a loose term that BRHS applied to priority
domestic and/or the higher overseas charges. Later I was informed
the $20 added fee would be applied upon all non-USA addresses,
including Alaska and Hawaii. That being the case, there was no need
for Dan or anyone else to have to choose this added postage option
on the forms. I would just code the program to add the $20 fee when
the country was not 'USA', and so I removed the option from these
features, and that was that.
The point here is to assure you that for the on-line "Join" or
"Renewal" features, this postage choice could be easily added back -
should you need it.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks.

A government shutdown will have no affect on the USPS as

do not receive any funding from the government.
International mailings go out at higher class that domestic
mailings as it could take a month or longer otherwise. BRHS
international members pay additional shipping costs for this.
So it is not fair to compare how quickly an international
member receives a publication to a domestic member. One idea
that has been discussed recently is an additional fee for
domestic members to have their publications sent at a higher
class (most likely Priority). This would be at least $20 on
top on regular membership dues. We are looking at exploring
the costs vs speed of different mail classes, but the choices
are pretty limited and changing would likely require a dues
increase. We have to balance this and use what we receive in
dues as efficiently as possible.
