Please underrstand we are NOT talking about 110V units - we are talking about specially-made 230V with CE approval RDS, etc.

Do you know what the cost of approving a CE model is? Maybe not.

Also you have to appreciate how much more it costs to specially manufacture electronic equipment - special transformers, tuning circuits (US tuning steps different from EU), etc.

And even if 230V units WERE available from shipment from US - the freight charges are about $250!

We very often have to take something special from the US (not only from Outlaw but other things as well) - you seem to know some special shipping possibiltiies as you thought the $250 was a lot.

Please help us out - for example 21-22 kg of equipment? If one uses sea vessel there are very high terminal charges and forwarding on each 'end' - even if the freight itself would be cheap.

Air freight is the only way - DHL, UPS, etc. - and we really haven't been able to get the price down (please realize that when dutires and taxes have to be paid, the couriers add 'administrative' costs in many cases.) Please let us know if you know some other system - we'd appreciate knowing!

PS

And I really don't know how you would expect to get 22 kg from the US for $55 - even US residents are paying $65 to Outlaw just for US shipping.
