[Elecraft] K3 parts delivery in UK

[Ken Chandler]

Ok thanks everyone for the comments.
I was afraid parcel force would raise it's ugly head!
I have had past experiences with this rip-off company, I really don't  
know how they can get away with it.
My k3 was delivered to the door by UPS who I guess had it released  
from customs.
I paid at the door the customs VAT charges etc.

QUESTION
Who decides on which company handles our parcels from Elecraft once it  
reaches the UK!!!
Is it the postal service used in the USA that determins who handles  
our goods, if it is, then can Elecraft use a company that goes to UPS  
when it hits the UK for delivery.
