Thank you sir!
Also the reason why you paid more in shipping was due to the weight of the excavator and the fact that it was on a pallet.
How much more quiet is it from your 4200xl?

wow! nice!, thanks for the pictures and information about the shipping costs.

This was a very nice purchase it is a shame about the cab but they should take care of it. Ed

A full option 960 perhaps... but a stock no frills 960 YOU assemble yourself quite likely less than half that.

[bigdogrod]

true enough. but even at half that.. yowch... i thought my semi trucks and 5th scale cars were big money, until i saw hydraulic stuff lol. i'm working on a huina loader conversion, and even that's not cheap. but i guess you gotta pay to play with the big boys. i'm a fan but not an investor, 15 grand will get me the 55 chevy i've always wanted, granted i'll have to put more in it, but at least it will go up in value hopefully

That machine looks perfect!

Thanks Joe, I still remember when you welcomed me to the site couple years ago, and you were telling me about the German machines, well you are right, they are quality built... I still don't want to paint them though lol...

The Cab cannot be pinched together because it is already glued, preventing it from being squeezed, and glued.

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

The weird thing is UPS will collect the funds of duty & taxes at the time of delivery and only accept the cashier check. As FedEx, they will bill you later which is nicer

I have a ScaleArt shipment coming into the US later this year. Can you elaborate on the duty and taxes? There should not be any duty (the invoice shows: "Tax free supply according to Section 4 Abs. 1a USTG") - toys do not have duty in the US and other countries.
As far as sales tax, you're not supposed to pay sales tax for goods coming in from outside the US.

Are you referring to customs brokerage fees, not tax or duty?

You won't pay the 19%VAT (value added tax) that ppl in Europe do, but there might be state and/or federal tax, plus if UPS or FedEx get's their hands on it, they have their own bullshyt fees they like to tack on... you'll find out for sure when it arrives.
