[Elecraft] Wow, Elecraft charges a lot for shipping!

[Ray Sills]

When I ordered my KX3 kit several years ago, I requested USPS Priority Mail.  The cost was around $15 (less expensive than any other shipping method), and it arrived (west coast to east coast) in 3 days… maybe 2, I forget.  But, it -was- quick.

USPS Priority does a fine job.  And, insurance is available.  Only once in my experience did USPS have a shipping hiccup:
The package coming to me had arrived in Philadelphia (closest major city)… but somehow, it got sent to California, where I languished for a day or two, before finally coming back to Philly and ultimately to me.  BTW, this hiccup was not an order from Elecraft.  I still prefer USPS Priority.
