Re: USA shipping set to rise !

A) we are shipping OUT of the USA, so the prices should remain the same  &&
B) CPR is in Cananda  ()


Any plane entering or leaving USA airspace, and flying over USA land is subject to the new measures. Bay Area and Marco Spec are ofcourse in the USA.

The idiots planting bombs etc, dont care where the plane crashs/or blows up, as long as it cause the Americans trouble.

Seafreight may one day be the only cheap answer. The air-freight price increases will flow thru to both Canada and Australia without a doubt, unfortunately.


Youre forgetting mate that postage to outside USA went up  approx 18 months back due to the scrapping of standard UPS ( finer details may be wrong here, but standard shipping was scrapped)... not for security reasons, but because.... er......because... er..... because we could!

At the end of the day its all bollox.... i can DHL ( this includes a customs check) a tube of stencils some 1300mm long and 150mm wide weighing just over 2kgs to USA for $100AUS.
To ship FROM USA a tube of 9 logic chips via fed Ex is US$130.
PBR can ship a box 120mmX120mm for US$15
Marco US$30 minimum.
8 boxes from China weighing a total of 165Kgs is US$950 via DHL
If i ring DHL on MY ACCOUNT to have same 165kgs shipped here.. price was $1500 AUS

My point is that we have the same journey on same plane but one end deciding to milk the pricing.

So USA will screen everything?Should have been doing so already...

may i just point out that EVERYTHING is screened coming into this country at no expense to us.

yep pricing will go up for sure... but then again, it always was going to anyway, USA is heavily union controlled... try getting a job in USA without a union card... they are not even allowed to talk to you on the phone
