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

2002-05-13 by Corey Appleby

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.
