The $999 tells you you can’t ship USPS. Pick UPS.

Can 2 boards be shipped First Class or are they greater than 14 oz

They are greater than 14 oz.

Barry,
Choose another shipping method. USPS Priority Mail or UPS should work.
If you do not choose a valid shipping method, the shipping charge will
be listed as $999.00 - that is artificial, but does tell you that the
shipping method chosen is not valid.

Yeah, THAT method does get a little pricey.

Hi Barry,
The 2 boards most likely exceed the 14 oz limit. If you really
want 1st class mail used. split the order as 2 separate boards. That may still
be cheaper than UPS and quicker too. Don't know about CO .but cross country to
NJ It seems to me that USPS pretty consisten

FWIW, it cost me $47.00 to have 4 x boards shipped to me up here in
Ontario. I do believe that I used USPS Priority Shipping.

I really don't think the two boards exceed 4 oz much less 14. He left a field
blank on the info screen. Go back and make a selection for EVERY field and you
should be fine. The form does not make assumptions.

When I ordered my KX3 kit several years ago, I requested USPS Priority Mail.
The cost was around $15 (less expensive than any other shipping method), and it
arrived (west coast to east coast) in 3 days… maybe 2, I forget. But, it -was-
quick.
USPS Priority does a fine job. And, insurance is
years. Int'l, from a couple bucks to
$7.10 in the same time frame.

I changed the shipping choice to USPS Prio Mail and it worked fine (about

Definitely not "just as easy" if the field is supposed to be a number.
The right way to code this is to eliminate First Class Mail as an option
when the weight goes over 14 oz.

Well, the K2, K1, KX1, K3 and KX3 are unique in that they contain
certain options, so I believe insurance is worthwhile. If I were a

It seems to me that, if the calculated weight of the shipment exceeds
the limit for First Class Mail, the option could be "grayed out" or a
message to that effect could be displayed next to the "Shipped to you
via:" field. Also, when First Class Mail is the chosen option, it does

You are forgetting to add the weight of the shipping box and any packing

Yes, that is the weight of the raw board.
Add 2 or 3 ounces for the packaging and the total goes over 14 oz, which
is the 1st class limit.

I always use USPS Priority Mail going both ways. It's faster, less
expensive and I'm glad Elecraft uses them by default.
