[Elecraft] Elecraft UPS deliveries

[Phil Wheeler]

$999?  Must have been a big item, Slava!

We all have frustrations of this nature from time 
to time. When I was assembling my KX3 I came 
across a bad part (or possibly I made it bad). 
That was on a Friday afternoon, and by the time I 
called the last mail had gone out. So my 
replacement arrived 5 days later, the following 
Wed. Very frustrating, given I'm only 300 miles 
from Elecraft. It was one of those parts you could 
not work beyond, and also one unavailable in any 
local hardware stores (and I have lots of those).

But once the package arrives the frustrations end, 
fortunately :-)
