[Elecraft] Ordering from the UK?

Mon Feb 23 10:47:01 2004

Peter and others,
I have had several parcels from Elecraft and have always opted for (US Post
Office International Parcel Post (Air Mail- Fast)) and have never had to pay
Customs Duty. What I have paid to the postman is VAT and a clearance fee,
usually about �8 (raised by Parcel Force  for 'clearing' the item through
Customs).
