G'day John.
USPS? Pack and Send?
The latter uses the same courier companies but they have big accounts,
so the prices are often vastly cheaper.
I don't know why it costs so much to get stuff out of North America.
The same weight as a L4 amp and supply, sent from China, via DHL, etc,
costs around US$80.00. I know this because I get HV transformers custom
built there and they are shipped to me here in rural VK6.
The VK6 ham is my good friend. He lives 9 miles from me. I suggested
the L4 for him. You will not have any troubles dealing with him.
He had one organised and paid for from a ham in YV but because of the
political situation there, it was impounded by authorities. My mate got
his money back and the last I heard, the owner is trying hard to get
his amp back.

I need to ship a Drake L4B to a ham in VK6 land. The quotes I found
from FedEx DHL etc are totally nuts. The buyer isn't in a hurry but
somehow we have to get the shipping to something reasonable. So I
thought where better to find out than from the Ham Amplifier group? So
where do we get reasonable deals.
One other question. I also have a brand new in the box Commander
HF-2500 with a serial number on it of 0475. It has never had a plug
connected to the power cord. Yes I am selling off a local SK's ham
equipment for the widow. SK is Jule Franke W9TQA
