As a further update... The Kaito USA ebay sales man Jason under the multimeter_depot user name replied to me again saying "We only ship to the 48 states"
That is pretty low class and shoddy business practices. USPS Priority Mail in a flat rate box costs no more to Alaska, then it does to say, Kentucky or Maine. Funny, I can go to Kaito's own website order the same radio and have it shipped via USPS Priority Mail to Alaska. I know multimeter_depot is the ebay side of Kaito USA based upon the receipt I got from paypal, showing me where my money went. The owner of Kaito USA and I traded a few emails and desptie me telling him twice I'd placed the order anyways, he asked, "So, did you yet place the order with us or not?" I've let everyone i know on multiple websites, email lists and facebook groups of Kaito's poor decision and custom service.. also making it impossible for alaskans to call your toll free number I can assure you many of us will be buying form Anon CO in china in the future when we need Tecsun Radios. I don't wanna be mean, but I will gladly take my money where it's wanted and easily acceptable.\ And guess what? The tecsun just shipped out, to my friend in Herndon VA! (I had it shipped to a friend in the lower 48 who will then ship it to me!) On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 12:00 AM, Paul B.
