[Elecraft] K3 Shipping options to UK

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Dave and Joe,

A few months ago I purchased an item from a company in the State of 
Washington which was handled by FedEx to London Heathrow. Parcel Force then 
handled the package from London to here in Scotland, and I recall having to 
pay Parcel Force an amount. Dave, if you would like more specific 
information about this please contact me off list. The tracking number 
supplied by Fedex was also used by Parcel Force.

73,
Geoff
