[Elecraft] Elecraft Web Storefront Problem

[Phil Hystad]

Don,

USPS Priority Mail is:  $16.98   (this is what is selected)

UPS Ground is:  $19.03

UPS Next Day Air is:  $73.68

I just shipped a few boxes by UPS ground and all of the boxes were bigger and heavier than the KX2 Ground Mini Banana Plug and those three shipments were all cheaper than the UPS Ground noted above.  Plus two of those UPS shipments to Phoenix AZ from my QTH in Kirkland, WA were cheaper than the USPS Priority Mail.

Yes, I will call tomorrow and order via phone.

So far, I am not liking the new web site.

73, phil, K7PEH

>> I wanted to get the little MINI KX2 Ground Banana Plug for $7.95 and the postage due was $16 and change.  Didn’t seem to matter how I selected things.  This banana plug is small enough to be shipped in a regular 45 cent postage stamp.  I can see extra charges for preparing that mailing but hopefully not more than double the price of the item I am hoping to buy.
