Hi David, congratulations on your new machine. I think you paid too much for the shipping services. I remember my ScaleART was delivered to my office by UPS 2 months ago for only 600 euro plus $59.87 duty & taxes that I have to pay here in CA. My package is about the size as yours or a bit bigger 47 x 21 x 22 and I have to bring the mini van to drive it home
