[Elecraft] KSYN3A

[Gary Smith]

I second this. 

I consider the "handling" part of Shipping and handling to be 
equivalent to the effort assembling a part & paying the company for 
doing that. The shipping is a fixed price for a company and the 
company has to pay staff. Not to charge for that order acceptance and 
handling time means the company donates that money from their budget 
and processing that order is a loss for them.

I too noticed the cost of shipping when I ordered the two KSYN3A and 
AM filter but I go back to my earlier post where I said I want 
Elecraft to succeed and prosper. They can't prosper giving away the 
order department and shipping department's services.
