Re: Container shipping from Finland to UK

Re: Toiminimi for less that 8k per year

Just to clarify, I am proof-reading for a university department who can also get the proof-reading done from their university's language department. The language department charges 15euro per page and there is no tax as it's between department. I understood it that the ...
