... and would be willing order some items and then forward them to me via ordinary mail?
A German company makes and sells the items. If they ship them to the USA they use DHL and the cost of shipping would add about $35 to the total cost. Shipping to someone in Germany looks like it would only add about $10. Then ordinary mail to me would probably only be another $10. Given that the electronic parts only come to about $20 you can see why I am trying to cut corners.
I'd buy the items from the USA distributor but they currently stock version 1.1 of the item and will not be getting version 2.0 until they have sold out of the V1.1 they have on hand [which makes perfect sense from their perspective] and have no idea when they might be able to provide me with V2.0.
Last resort is I will just order the V2.0 and pay the piper, but I thought I'd take a shot here first.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Arvid
