Robert,

$999.00 indicates that you've not selected a shipping method.

Try this:
On Elecraft's website add a KXV3A to your cart. When you go to checkout, the shipping costs are $999.00!!!

Only if you don't choose a shipping method, then the default shipping is $999.00.  Put in your zip code and choose UPS, FedEx or USPS and you'll get an accurate number.

  Robert,

Eric says that is done to attract your attention.
If you did not select a shipping option, that will happen.
Select the shipping option and the price is much lower. :-)

IIRC that happens when an inappropriate shipping method is chosen.  E.g. USPS 1st class for something that weighs more than 14oz.  

Not very "user friendly", but it definitely gets your attention :-)

How much does the item you want weigh?  If it is more than 14 oz, I'll
bet that is why it says $999.

Just a guess.

You didn't specify a shipping method, so that is what it will cost to
have Wayne deliver it in person.
