Just received 50 PCB's in 36 hours via DHL from Hong Kong and in the last 18 Month two HP 5065A in less than 48 hours from Israel. How ever shipping from the US USPS is the best. Bert Kehren In a message dated 7/4/2019 4:05:27 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hello Jim, I am in Germany and have sent several premium receivers (i.e. AEG Telefunken E 1800/3 and Rockwell-Collins 851S-1) worlwide with DHL Express and German postal. No delay shipping to the US and no customs fees paid by the recipient. If you need any help shipping from the EU let me know. BTW I get highly discounted rates (up to 67% below published rates for DHL Express and UPS) with a shipping broker in Germany vy 73 Heinz DH2FA, KM5VT [email protected] Von meinem iPhone gesendet > Am 04.07.2019 um 18:31 schrieb AC0XU (Jim) <[email protected]>: > > Anyone have suggestions about how to buy equipment from out of the country > without getting US Customs delays?
