I think you guys forget the labor issue. I’m sure that a quality company like
Elecraft pay their employees a decent wage with benefits. It takes time to
package things and check the records for shipping and do it right the first
time. Time costs money and time is money.
I’m not complaining but
And what is wrong with using Flat Rate Priority services?
For a miniplug a small Flat Rate box is $7.20 or a Flat Rate Envelope is $6.70.
Those are retail prices and there are discounts even for commercial mailers.
Agree that 1st class mail may be even better at times. Priority Mail does
I ran into this problem a few weeks ago. I was ordering the 4-40
thumbscrews so I could attach my KX2 to a desk stand.

Those options I listed, USPS, UPS Ground, and UPS Next Day Air were all that
were listed and available for shipping.
I have bought small parts from Elecraft before, like back when a hardware fix
or two were still being issued for the K3. These were shipped in heavy brown
paper envelopes

I can believe that USPS Priority is $16.98.
But if the weight is less than 13 oz (which should be true for your
plug), it can go 1st class mail.

I agree. I bought a small item on the “old” website and the shipping to NY was
about $4. I tried to purchase the same item on the new website and the lowest
shipping was over $17 (for a $20+ item).; I didn’t buy it. I recently
purchased a KXPD3 and the shipping was the same $17+. Same with an

Yes, UPS for even small items starts at $16.
