Pre-Orders?

Can we ask how the pre-order shipments are going?

I got a message to say I was in Group 2 to ship on or around Jan 3.

Any updates?

Mine just got here today. 10 days Canada post to US postal service Calgary to Maryland. Gonna build a little box bot this evening just to test things out.

In case anyone's interested about costs of importing in to the UK, just received my EZ-Robot kit this morning.

Went for the more expensive Canada Post Xpress Post International option to the UK as I wanted to be able to track the package on its journey in case it went wayward. It took 5 days to make it from Calgary to the UK customs office, three days for them to process and hand off to ParcelForce, five days for ParcelForce to notify me of the customs payments required, and then a day for delivery after customs payment was made.

Customs paid on contents of a EZ-Robot kit & motor controller all worth $250 + postage came to 47.82 which breaks down to 34.32 for Import VAT and 13.50 for ParcelForce's UK customs admin fee.

Thanks Steveburkett

Personally I think import tax is outrageous then to add insult to injury Parcelforce add on an admin fee for reading a label on the parcel eek

I only used the normal postal option and I got mine in 10 days, and with the additional camera I had that in about the same. So far no additional charges from the robbing b..... I mean TAX office.

Can't knock the EZ crew for their hard work!

I can not believe! From Canadian post tracking history follows: it is sent from Canada on January, 20th... Today is evening on February, 18th! Maybe the Canadian mail has found a surface way to Israel??? I should look at the terrestrial globe once again! :-(
