[Elecraft] T1 internal to FT-817

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Tom,

Have no fear - we will not charge you $999 for shipping.

What that means is that you did not pick a shipping method. We use $999 
to get your attention. I guess it did! :-) The phrase "Please choose a 
shipping method" right next to it says it all. In any case, if you 
actually submitted it this way you can resubmit with the correct 
shipping and just note in the comments section to ignore your prior order.

If we see something like this get through on an order we always contact 
the buyer to set up the desired shipping method.

73,
Eric
