I bought my K4D from W&S 2 years ago, but they no longer list much Elecraft
equipment and seem to have lost interest.
All my other Elecraft kit came direct from Elecraft. W&S are unlikely to
handle warranty or repairs for items bought elsewhere, which is a pity as
the only place outside of the UK
I have bought a few things direct from Elecraft, including my K4D, albeit
that I had to wait a couple of years for delivery as I was one of the early
birds. The only problem, as such, was the customs administration when the
parcels arrived in the UK. My K4D took 10 days to get it sorted as I needed

I recall seeing somewhere that W&S were now in some sort of relationship
with Moonraker - though there hasn't been much publicity about it. I
notice their address is now the same as Moonraker's.
Moonraker's website now lists 122 products under Elecraft. You are OK

Not sure you got an answer to your question ... two rules of thumb:
1. Follow the NEC, it's incorporated in building codes, essentially the
law, and failure to do so could possibly invalidate your insurance claim

For one, it is not obvious because Elecraft does not have (and can not
have) expertise in the complex and fast-changing world of international

I agree with the comment to call Elecraft and take exception to Geert's
comments.
There are other carriers besides the US Postal Service. From my experience
shipping hundreds of parcels from the US to the UK is that the USPS
contracts with a commercial provider in the UK (vs the Royal Post), and
All my Elecraft kit (K3 + 'S' upgrades, P3, KPA500, KAT500, KX3, K2, W2 etc)
was bought via mostly separate orders direct from Elecraft, so multiple
experience of this buying route. No hassles with any of the shipments, but a

Maybe you can work a deal with K6RO, who has a sideline business dealing

There are some anomalies that need to be cleared up, both in your post and in
Geert’s post. Both of you are partly correct and of course entitled to your
opinion. I’m also not happy with curt one-liners. If you call Elecraft, what
are they going to tell you? The cost of a K4, the cost of shippin
