Hi emcPT,
Being tied up for a whole day waiting for an express shipment, not being able to go for a walk or even spend some quality time in the bathroom - or take a ten minute walk to the local pickup point at a time of my choosing? I know what I prefer.
Also I sometimes work (and sleep) at weird hours, and receiving to-the-door shipments can be quite problematic then.
And why use air shipping when not in a hurry? Having a ground shipping option so the customer can choose to be a bit more eco-friendly is not wrong, no?
Just my 2 cents... (I actually don't even need a 7i73 at the moment - but I will buy one at a later time.)

No problem, I understand. {lots of suppliers can't be bothered to ship to us because of the stupid changes following brexit. {should never have happened! almost half of us didn't want it and we will be paying extra and restricted in our movements because of it forever}
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_off_the_nose_to_spite_the_face
it is cheaper to ship stuff via a forwarding agent in the US these days than direct as some in the us won't deal direct for the same reasons + demands to collect VAT in advance (eg mesaus)
We are shipping normally for UK and the number of shipments did not lowered since the new taxes.
I guess that all shippers had to increase the values, and that the UK residents understand that this is the result of UK determination.

Although this could increase the number of clients it have a disadvantage that I do not want to risk:
Lost packages or delayed packages
My reputation as a seller needs to be at a high level. If I send a package of a item that costs 250€ by regular mail with a cost of 5€, and if the package is lost or delayed by weeks, where no one knows where it is, I would lost a client and that client will complain, probably I will need to return the money and the client will make a bad advertisement about my services. There is the possibility at the end that the package still arrives at the customer.
All this because a difference of probably 15€ (6% on a 250 package).
Worst: The client can receive the package and declare that it was not received. Believe me that this happened before (UK - 280€ and France - 1400€) - yes, people are evil.
So I stopped looking for a cheaper alternative that does not protect me as a seller.
Regular post just increases the uncertainly of a delivery, and due to experience this is not a possibility.

Thanks, i did check that when i made the order, all was good.All in stock.
Germany is the lowest transport price that we have.
Can you check what normal postage will cost to Kosovo, please?
Just to be clear, anything with DHL, FedEX, TNT, and some other "fast post" will not work as that will for sure be stopped at the airport for extortion. And yes i am aware of the meaning of that word, but it is like that.
Again, thank you for your continued support.

I tried to make order to Czech republic, but there is DHL express only....Good day to all.
Until now we only offered DHL express shipping at our store.
It is fast, secure, reliable and unfortunately expensive.
Starting today we offer DHL parcel for most of Europe that should make our store more appealing for small orders where the transport price is a factor.
Transport is, of course, slower, but should reach all European countries in 4 to 8 days.
We have the largest stock of Mesa in Europe and we will soon have more products.
If you have a suggestion of hardware that you would like to be available, let us know as we are expanding our market.
