Hello all again,
As starter of this thread I would like to thank you all for reactions,
I fully agree with Simon about UPS.
I ordered my K2 last Friday, shipping via UPS, and hoped my new toy would be
delivered within a week or 2...
Yesterday (Monday) I came home from work, turned on my PC to see if there is
some sort of order confirmation.. triiing UPS at the front door with a
package! Wow that was FAST... My K2 arrived and by paying BTW (tax, no
import duties) I was ready to start building in 37 hours after ordering!
K2 # 5095 is work in progress at the moment!
73 to all!

My experience is that the best carrier to use is UPS. Of those I have used
UPS has always performed flawlessly with international purchases (not -
Switzerland is not in the EU - so everything I buy goes through customs). If
the parcel is correctly marked I can rely on UPS for efficiency, promptness
and above all courtesy.
UPS may be a tad more expensive but it's well worth it.
