[Elecraft] Re: Ordering form PA (AND UK!)

[Sjoerd PE2SVN]

Hello all again,

As starter of this thread I would like to thank you all for reactions,

I fully agree with Simon about UPS.
I ordered my K2 last Friday, shipping via UPS, and hoped my new toy would be
delivered within a week or 2...

Yesterday (Monday) I came home from work, turned on my PC to see if there is
some sort of order confirmation.. triiing UPS at the front door with a
package! Wow that was FAST... My K2 arrived and by paying BTW (tax, no
import duties) I was ready to start building in 37 hours after ordering!

K2 # 5095 is work in progress at the moment!

73 to all!

My experience is that the best carrier to use is UPS. Of those I have used 
UPS has always performed flawlessly with international purchases (not - 
Switzerland is not in the EU - so everything I buy goes through customs). If

the parcel is correctly marked I can rely on UPS for efficiency, promptness 
and above all courtesy.

UPS may be a tad more expensive but it's well worth it.
