First off, I can symphasize with Doug, as I face unnecessarily high
shipping all the time to Alaska. I'm not speaking about Elecraft's
shipping policy, specifically, as they seem to be fair. My XG3 cost
me $8.64 to ship via USPS Priority Mail.
But recently I bought a 50v PS on ebay that cost
Folks - Let's end this thread. We've taken care of this with the
customer and have also adjusted the web form.

I ordered an AF1 active filter mini-module from Elecraft. Just
something fun to build and play with. The price is $59.95. OK, fine.
However, they won't ship it
I'm not taking sides, just making a couple observations:
- I could be wrong but my gut feeling is the AF1 weighs more than 3 oz. (14,
probably not). Also, it's not just the weight of the item, but the weight
of the packaging too.
- It may be reasonable for a company to charge more for shipping
As I said, I weighed a similar, probably heavier kit, fully packed in a
an official Priority Mail box on an official USPS scale - 8 ozs.

So the bottom line is I'm being asked to pay $10 more for shipping then is

Necessary might be the key word here.
With all due respect (no harm in you asking the question), no, that's not
the bottom line. That's assuming they're shipping at exactly the rate that
the post office charges

Hi Doug,
That does sound a little high. All of the shipping calculations on the
order form are estimated and we can easily correct them at time of order
entry. There could even be a mistake on the form itself. Give me a
call tomorrow morning and we'll take a look at the best way to ship it
here? If not, then it seems a
little unfair to complain publicly before giving them a chance to resolve the
problem for you.
