Hi Justin and all, I'd be surprised if it was anything to do with the weight
of the package, as NLB are sending Braille books around the country all the
time, and even one volume of that would be a whole lot heavier than a couple
of CD's! I don't personally subscribe to the Talking Book Service, so can't
shed any light on why there might be this problem. Tracey.
