A question from a six year old boy that is not so easy to answer as you would think. How does the post work??
OK son, you take your letter to the post, pay for a stamp and then you give the letter to the postman and he delivers it......simples........no, not when the cogs start to turn in the head of a small child.....So, can someone answer the following? Per letter, per ton of letters for example??????

What happens when you want to post a letter from, lets say, Europe to the USA. You pay your 75 cents-Euro, how is that price then distributed. The post will want a few cents, so will the airline and the postal service in the US, nothing is done for free, or is it a six and two three's apart form the air transport?? Does anyone know how it is done.
