I'm wanting to order two items from the Elecraft page, namely a replacement
MCU
and a packet of 20 panel screws, not really very large items. However when
I went to the
checkout to select delivery method the charges struck me as rather
exploitative. They
ranged from $35 for the screws and
OUCH! Something is wrong -- hopefully it is not your location. :)
If I were you, I would email sa...@elecraft.com and ask them. While
you might be better off looking for local source for the screws,
you're stuck getting the MCU from Elecraft, and they are in the US.

Yep, check your shipping options first. I had been pricing a K3 this past
weekend and wanted to see what the bottom line was going to be. When I went
to checkout, my shipping charges (for a delivery distance of about 100
miles) came to $999!!! I almost fell out of my chair. Then I went back to

posted here some time ago that they intentionally set up the order form
to show a ridiculously large shipping fee if you didn't select a
shipping method as a flag for you to go back and do so.

Don't what methods Elecraft is willing to use, but if it fits in a
9x11 inch envelope and weighs less that 4 pounds you can send it by
International Priority Mail for about $14.00. They have a small box
at that rate, too. We have sent everything from cake frosting to LCD
keychains to Norway
Thanks for all the replies on this one.
I have gone through the tarrifs on the website and the cheapest postal
charge for
sending a $2 bag of panel screws is around $35 up to $88
The MCU is the same price, and both combined incurs the same charges.

I went through the shock of displayed shipping charges some time ago.
The solution is to add a short message at the payment stage of the order,
