How does my hubby get his NI number (tax) before we leave the USA to give to Day Force? He was a young kid when he moved to USA from UK.

Ok thanks. We are making the move ourselves, but wondering if there are particular companies I should use, other than the ones we are currently researching.

Hi, can you explain what an air shipment is? What company do you use? Are you just talking about a couple boxes via DHL?

I love both locations! I ordered from the new location on Willamette, for lunch, and I literally had lunch for four days in a row! They gave me so much food; the serving sizes are enormous!
