Hello all again, As starter of this thread I would like to thank you all for reactions,
I fully agree with Simon about UPS. I ordered my K2 last Friday, shipping via UPS, and hoped my new toy would be delivered within a week or 2... Yesterday (Monday) I came home from work, turned on my PC to see if there is some sort of order confirmation.. triiing UPS at the front door with a package! Wow that was FAST... My K2 arrived and by paying BTW (tax, no import duties) I was ready to start building in 37 hours after ordering! K2 # 5095 is work in progress at the moment! 73 to all!

My experience is that the best carrier to use is UPS. Of those I have used UPS has always performed flawlessly with international purchases (not - Switzerland is not in the EU - so everything I buy goes through customs). If the parcel is correctly marked I can rely on UPS for efficiency, promptness and above all courtesy. UPS may be a tad more expensive but it's well worth it.
