[Elecraft] Shipping costs for Warranty repair

[Poul Erik Karlshøj (PKA)]

Hi all
Elecraft repair and warranty policy is literally clear:
Elecraft will pay shipping to return the repaired equipment to you by UPS ground service or equivalent to the continental USA and Canada. Alaska, Hawaii and outside U.S. and Canada actual return shipping cost paid by owner.

This is understandable if the repair service is done in USA.
However, when the warranty repair of a European customers Elecraft product is done by a  European based Elecraft repair service, I would find it fair that Elecraft would pay for returning the warranty-repaired item.

What do you think?
What does Elecraft think?
