Yep, that's what anybody who doesn't have at least two grandparents born in
Wayne County, Kentucky, USA, is called around here.
There doesn't seem to be any problem with sending computer disks of
non-commercial material around the world. I can send you an updated copy of my
programs for a dollar postage. Another dollar carries the protractor & ruler.
If you have some strange unit of measure, I can modify the program to use it.
Hint: for distance, just select P=pace and define your whatzit in US feet.
The instruments are another matter. At no extra cost, I can obtain a Silva
Ranger type 15 compass with the needle balanced for any area of the known
earth. Simply tell me where you plan to use it. The default is Northern,
which is generally north of Mexico City, the Mediterranean Sea, Himalayas,
Shanghai, and Hawaii.
The surveyors' tape measures are available in metric.
My wholesaler can handle all the customs (Misc Forestry Equip), Certificate of
Origin (USA, Sweden, Japan), international freight (FOB Jackson, Mississippi),
etc. I just pass on my international orders to her. (She really enjoys all
those strange foreign spellings over the telephone, too!)
The problem is shipping! The shipping almost costs more than the instruments.
For example, a recent package to Australia incurred nearly $US40 shipping. And
that only got it as far as the Sydney Airport. If you balk at high shipping
costs, and find a supplier in your own country, then ask him if he would like
to handle my local (to him) sales.
Or I can remove the factory packaging to make the shipment used tools, and send
them in my personal name. Then estimated international shipping is $US32 by
air and $US11 by surface.
Oh, please don't spend shipping on the flagging. A roll weighs almost a pound, and it
is worth only $US2. Use rags.
Please make payment in $US dollars, preferably by international money order.
My backwoods bank out here has probably never seen a draft cheque from your
country before. International checks must have a US interbank number at the
bottom of the check. I can also take Visa, Master Charge, and Discover, but
with a 5% processing surcharge.
