Elecraft could never pick up the tab for international shipment. When you purchase overseas you also pay for international shipment. There are no free lunches. We in the EU have very high purchase taxes to pay for much valued social benefits and perhaps inefficiencies. We vote in the governments who impose these taxes and costs so we must pay the piper.
Well said, Doug. I also strongly endorse the practice of buying Elecraft gear in kit form. So far, I've built two loaded K3s, two P3s, an KPA500, a KX3, KXPA100, and one sub-RX. Not only do I know how the gear is put together and have confidence in their modular board construction, I saved enough buying in kit form to buy the KXPA100. The kits are easy to put together and test unless you have some sort of disability that gets in the way.
