In a video with Eric taped end of September at Waters&Stanton UK I've
learned that the K4 won't be delivered earlier than end of March or beginning of April 2020 in Europe. Since I've ordered my K4D with full deposit at the end of May directly at Elecraft US I've asked the sales department at Elecraft twice if this will affect my order in any way. I was still hoping for late November or early December. Unfortunately I didn't get no answer at all and this is way I'm asking the group. Any idea? 73 Udo, DK5YA P.S.: The video "ELECRAFT K4 IN DEPTH with WA6HHQ at Waters & Stanton Ltd Portsmouth UK" here, it's worth to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-PHL68WIdg&fbclid=IwAR3iW5Pk8USnEQGmZfz2s0nVGPOgFuNhrdH-6antlFTgMCAAI7MdPW349FQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
I believe the early Nov/Dec delivery dates are optimistic. At best, a photo of Madeline carrying a boxed K4 out the door on New Years Eve would be a welcome sight.
I have a K4D fully deposited as well, and I’m going to be thrilled/surprised if they start shipping in Dec, happy for January and relegated to March/April. Especially for Kits and overseas shipments.

My understanding is that this is due to CE certification being a process
they can’t start until first wave units have already started to ship because of the sampling requirements. I have no clue if they would also have to do anything additional with the TUV before shipping to .de I doubt that there’s anything prohibiting them from handing an early shipping unit over in Watsonville ahead of CE certification should you happen to take a vacation to do pickup and self import :) Good luck in any case - I am eagerly waiting for a unit myself.

I asked Elecraft on the phone on two separate occassions and was told in the EU we should not expect delivery before April. I am sure you could go to USA and bring one back on a plane; declare to customs and then pay duty and VAT. On an expensive item, I am not sure how complicated this would be.73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
