Elecraft is a small enough company that the issue of shipment could 
certainly be addressed when discussing a purchase. I've long heard that 
DHL is well respected in the UK. They're not well known here (although 
they used to be 30 years ago, and I used them in my biz to ship 
architectural drawings around), but Elecraft will probably know how to 
access them.

Again, ASK! Elecraft is not like Kenwood, ICOM, or Yaesu! Anyone who's 
been on this reflector for very long knows that Wayne and Eric (who does 
most of the management stuff) are both online and read this reflector, 
and the company is online friendly. So is SDRKits (in the UK), from whom 
I've made four purchases over about ten years, all of which arrived 
painlessly by USPS. One of their people reads the support reflector for 
their excellent VNWA and responds promptly and in a very positive way to 
any issues.
