Re: [elektron] Re: MD @ Customs $$$

yup 61 buck for my SID, and it sat in customs for over a week, cuz electron didn't include the right paperwork like fcc forms etc. I had to deal with fed ex and all the crap of contacting electron getting them to send the info to fed ex.  It was like electron never sent anything to the US before, they should know to include that paperwork.  Anyway I am gonna email them again cuz its not really fair that it takes like over 3 weeks for my machine to arrive, (other problems as well with them sending it out) it was missing 2 screws, and I have to pay a fee that they never said anything about on their site.  I've imported stuff before and I've never had any problems like this.

My Sidstation was shipped via DHL and customs was only like $5.  Of 
course this was almost 2 years ago, so things might have changed.  I 
think my MD was $50 (also shipped via DHL)  Maybe when they switched to 
Fedex (when did that happen?) they had some problems.  Both the MD and 
Sidstation were at my door in less than a week.
