    Hello all,

    I've decided to get a RS mega kit but they want 423$ for shipping to Europe (France) this seems VERY VERY VERY expensive.

    Do you guys have some alternative solutions ? Can i buy from them and have someone (DHL/UPS/FEDEX) come and pick up the stuff at their place ?

    Thanks for the help

    Hey, i am in the same situation. Did you order allready? lebois racing is an alternative, but DIY or 4k for a plug and play solution.

    Seems cheap to me. Earlier this year I ordered $250 cost precut aluminum profiles from China, and paid $900 in shipping fees...

    Still cheaper than paying $2000 for the same profiles procured locally here in California :eek:

    423$ is really cheap when you think about the weight and it will be send from Taiwan. You will be not cheaper with any other option.

    But anyway, why you just don´t ask them directly about it?

    All in one i ' ve bought 4 rs mega and spacers plus emergency button for less than 3000 euros.
    The wiring is easy , about one hour for all four actuators,professionnal stuff.Came with Fedex for one parcel and DHL for the other

    Here’s the cost summary per requested:
    - US$2140 - 1 x RS MEGA (no controller)
    - US$150 - 1 x Alumimum cabinet
    - US$100 - 4 x Spacer, vertical
    - US$30 - E-stop (new version)
    - US$423 - Shipping to France, 53kg, 5-7 days
    Total = US$2813 (or EUR€2338 after 5% discount for payment by domestic bank transfer).
