It would be interesting to know for this particular purchase what the average cost worked out to for the 16 machines purchased.  If you do not want to disclose, totally understandable.

I have never imported (as I am just starting out), but have been tempted to look at what would be involved in bringing a few in from America.  I realise that is probably a whole different approach (ie. one or two pins) versus bringing in a container.  From what I have read on the forum, there are obviously risks and unkowns when doing it for the first time, and it probably can get costly per machine when bringing in only a few.

Thanks.
