content: The box it comes in says on it 43.5cm x 25 cm x 27 cm ... quick and rough measurements confirm the values are correct.As for weight, I don't have a scale but the unit is light - i would say 3-5 kilos, maybe a bit more with the foam and other crap. Definitely a bit more heavy than a Coke bottle but not much heavier.I got mine from Batronix.com , check them out, they might be cheaper. I paid probably 10-15 euro in shipping from Germany to me in Romania via dhl/local courier.ps. i guess it won't hurt if I post the link to the store:http://www.batronix.com/shop/oscilloscopes/Low-Cost-Oscilloscopes.htmlps2. and yeah, 8 pounds according to amazon uk, which is about 3.6 kilos. Sounds about right.

content: That's the unit itself. It's wrapped in foam and in a rigol branded cardboard box that's 43.5 cm x 25 m x 27 cm.On my shippment, Batronix further put this box in a second cardboard box that's a few mm bigger than the rigol box, basically it's just an extra layer of protection for the original rigol box, so it doesn't get scratched or damaged easily.

Shipping from UK will cost much more than you had to pay.I'm trying to get one from here.http://www.rigol-uk.co.uk/ds1000e-series-digital-oscilloscope/but can't understand whether they are talking about euro or pound.

content: The rigol uk page says 220 uk pounds, no mention if it's with vat or not, most likely without. That's about 256 euro at today's conversion.Batronix has the scope listed at 239 euro without vat. Since you're outside EU, you won't pay VAT anyway. Batronix asks for 56 euro for shipping through DHL Premium, which is kinda reasonable for India. To my country Romania, the costs are only a bit over 15 euro.Anyway, another option would be Dealextreme :http://dx.com/p/rigol-ds1052e-5-6-tft-lcd-50mhz-2-channel-digital-color-storage-oscilloscope-30573That 345 dollars are about 260 euro, just as much as rigol uk, but the shipping fees may be less since they send it from hong kong (ignore the free shipping to india they may offer, you should choose whatever option is a bit more expensive just to be sure it won't arrive in pieces to you.So do the math .. is batronix's 239 euro + 56 euro for quality shipping less than dx.com's 345 dollars/260 euro + their shipping ... and go for that.Or research for more options.

content: The scope comes in a double cardboard box (box in a box) + some kind of rigid foam. I found that rather nice.Also, don't forget the probes, the manual + CD and the power cable.
