Geoff and group,
I also have one on order which has yet to arrive. This time, I forgot
to ask the good people at Elecraft to ship in as small a box as possible.
Sometimes a small parcel coming by post is just passed through without being
charged VAT by our Post Service. This never happens with any of the other
carriers. I may call Elecraft later today to request that when they do
ship that they use a small box. Good luck with the installation.

Hello David,
$69.95 for the board + $40.50 shipping by USPS International (it came in a
surprisingly large box but very well packed) + VAT on entering UK + (the
worst part) £13.50 Parcelforce handling charge. It all added up to £92.72.
It took about 10 days door to door by USPS International. I could have
chosen USPS Priority Int. for a saving of about $15 but that would have been
of very uncertain duration.
73 and Happy New Year
