content: Im not sure if this is the place for this but over the years here we got a lot of feedback for international orders where they didn't like our fraud screening process. We fixed this so most internationals orders don't need additional fraud screening.The other problem we had was shipping costs and duties and taxes. This was no easy task but we now have for most countries landed cost and duties on the site for most orders under 2500 USD.No more wondering how much the tax/duties/brokerage fees are going to be. At the same time we were able to, in many cases, greatly reduce the cost of shipping.What once could cost 200 dollars to ship to Australia now costs much less. Here is an example of how this will work:http://screencast.com/t/m9h8aq45FI would love any feedback on this system. If this is not posted in the right spot I apologize. We worked very hard on making this work and I hope everyone finds some value in this new system!Best RegardsEvan CirelliVice PresidentTEquipment.NET

content: Hats off to you. That you have covered the import duties and taxes is no mean feat - but I do like the new shipping method charges!Makes me less apprehensive about considering US purchases. Unfortunately, I don't have much I can justify.But - very good effort!

content: Any reason to go with flash? I think that ship has sailed ;-)It's of topic, but often I get this recaptcha page before I can get into your (Tequipment) website. I have to say, I find it all BUT inviting. I don't even understand why for visiting this is needed?Maybe something to look it?My 0.02$

content: Same here. When visiting Tequipment I always get the cloudflare captcha. Also if the website is using flash then it better be rebuild because the major browsers are going to drop flash in the very near future. IIRC the next version of Chrome won't support flash.

content: Same here with the captcha. Every time time I try to visit the Tequipment site I get the captcha page and probably majority of the times I won't bother typing that and just close the page instead of checking what was behind that link.

content: Fantastic!Just for fun, I priced the cost of a Rigol 1054z to Canada. Shipping of only $22 plus import cost (HST exactly like any local purchase) of ~ $55. No crazy shipping cost, no crazy brokerage fees. I don't mind the ~1 week shipping time; if I needed a scope tomorrow I'd have ordered it two weeks ago. This level of ease, low cost, and peace of mind (no hidden fees) is almost unheard of.Just one week ago I received my first order from TEquipment.net, and I had it shipped to a USA address (A UPS Store) where I picked it up and brought it across the border in person. I did this to save on shipping and brokerage costs. I am very pleased that I will not need to do that in the future. You have absolutely secured my repeat business.
