[Elecraft] Re: Shipping Cost to Australia

[David Lankshear]

It cost $350 (USD) to ship 2 x K3 and bits to the UK (#1122 and #1123).  The large box arrived very quickly, which wasn't important, and safely which was.  UK VAT of 17.5% was added to the total of the invoice, including the shipping cost.  I'd have been happy for the gear to come by sea mail (about 8 weeks from California) but it was all down to methods Elecraft use and the insured value of the package ($5400 USD hardware plus $350 USD carriage).

Mr UPS was (understandably) RAZOR keen to get a cheque for the duty and handling charge ($518 USD).

(and I wonder why only immigrants still want to live in the UK HI! )

The latest errata has been printed, so next job on is an inventory - sometime soon.
