Can someone please tell me if the difference in shipping is worth the difference in price to ship a KPA-500:
UPS Worldwide expedited = 414 $ US Post Office Priority Mail International = 131 $ I have had superb service from UPS with both my K3's but the difference is pretty steep and I need to pay 21% VAT on top of that! UPS is fast (from clicking 'submit order' to K3 box in my hands in under 48 hours), but I won't mind waiting a few days and save about 300 Euro if USPS is slower. I wonder if USPS or their Belgian partner handles clearing the box through Belgian customs like UPS does. I have had nothing but troubles with these red tape lovin' kafkaesque bureaucrats, so I'd rather see the carrier handle the customs part. That would be in favor of UPS. Has anyone in EU tried USPS and if so are you happy with it? 73 de Franki ON5ZO ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
