[Elecraft] KSYN3A (shipping)

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

I find it a bit humorous that the subject invariably arising for a $200 (or $1000 or $10,000+) item ends up being about chump change on shipping costs.  We’ll drop a bundle on something and then spend hours quibbling about a few bucks on shipping.

I’m not a terribly sophisticated user of my K3 compared to some of you, but my K3 has all of the available options, all of the mods installed, and the latest revs of everything (I know about).  I have two of the new KSYN boards ordered.  Last thing I worried about when I placed the order was shipping cost.  

Maybe it’s just a need to find SOMETHING to grumble about.  I spent more on a few (losing) PowerBall tickets that garnered nothing in return.  At least I know I’ll get a box in the mail from Aptos :)

The envelopes and small box are under $6.  Where they can be a real bargain is if you need to mail something to Alaska or Hawaii.  Same price as across town.
