  All that talk of opening up sounds good but it isn't happening for me and my friends in Ghana. I have shipped 8 packages as gifts to friends in Ghana in the last several months. The fees charged by Customs/Post Office are outrageous exceeding over 400% the value of the items.
  
  For instance, I purchase a Webcam on Ebay for $8 with free shipping and pay $9 USPS shipping fee to Ghana. The Post Office is consistently charging $30 fees and sometimes $40 fees. An 8 year old used laptop gets fees over $100. We have also had damage and theft problems.
  
  This is killing the Ghana economy and the poorer people of Ghana. I will ship no more items into Ghana and that hurts my friends in Ghana.
