Re: [elektron] Monomachine support

2003-09-14 by frank moreno

Hello Daniel,

I want to order a Monomachine. However, I have a couple of concerns
regarding shipping. I had a problem with DHL and FedEX.

The DHL problem occured during my Sidstation purchase from Elektron. They
charged a double fee for importation. I refused to pay the excessive amount
and they may try and hold the MonoMachine hostage. So, PLEASE NO NOT use
DHL.

Second problem. I ordered a MachineDrum from Elektron. You guys shipped it
regular Swedish postal service. That worked just fine. However, this was an
early model (#A10600078-45) with the knob problem. I returned the unit for
repair and the unit was sent back to me using FedEX.

Well, FedEX tried to charge me import duties. I have disputed the charge. I
filed the documets stating this was an "original manufacturer warranty
repair" and is not subject to import fees. They are still sending me bills
and have now sent me to a collection agency. 

Can you help me with the FedEX situation? And can you use the Swedish
postal service for shipping to me in the USA?
Sorry to be so needy. I want to fix the FedEX situation, so I can use them
in the future. Looking forward to owning a MonoMachine.

Thanks Daniel,

^f.
