One of the function keys will act as a "Num Lock" and turn part of the main keyboard into a numeric keypad. Look for numbers in boxes on the letters to the right of the keyboard.

However don't like the price being paid don't have to pay it, Fedex and UPS are options but I venture they will be a tad more.

Re: US Post Office Rant!!!
USPS is very good domestically (far better than the Royal Fail) but utterly hopeless for international shipping in my experience -- expensive and slow.
It's also slow receiving international packages, evidently. My dad shipped a large package to me before Xmas. Royal Mail tracking inidcated it arrived in the US a few days later. It then took about 10 days to get from wherever it landed to me. Factoring in a few days at most for customs clearance, the USPS must have put it on the back of a donkey for the final leg for the trip.

I had the reverse type of problem several years ago, paid for Express delivery to UK for Xmas to DH. Once it hit the UK treated like regular mail, didn't make it there in time for Xmas, add on Boxing Day holiday..........

Ha ha....I immediately thought 'great idea'....then just looked down at the keyboard on my laptop and there isn't a numbered keypad to the right, just the numbers going along the top of the QWERTY keys...
Ho hum. Will continue to type GBP instead!
Thanks to ChocolateBabz and yourself for the suggestions though..
