[Elecraft] Import Costs from America

[Don Wilhelm]

The Elecraft warranty and repair terms are available on the website 
(http://www.elecraft.com/repair.htm or google for Elecraft warranty).  
Customers who are concerned about how warranty repairs are handled and 
how return shipping is handled can review that prior to purchase.  If 
those warranty terms are objectionable to a particular customer, he can 
decline to purchase.

The warranty terms (including return shipping terms) are also printed in 
each manual.  So the fact that non-US or Canada will pay shipping both 
ways can be apparent to any prospective customer who cares about that 
particular item.

IMHO, if you are seeking a personal exception to those stated terms, 
direct email to Eric or Wayne could be more productive than postings to 
the Elecraft reflector.
