1/4 of the way to a mill

[DavidR8]

Just for entertainment sake I sent a message to Precision Matthews enquiring about the cost to get a PM-25MV to my door.

Below is the quote:

PM-25MV: $1,699.00

PM-25 Stand $169.00

Customs charges $188.40 ($93.40 + $95.00 broker fee)

Shipping: $230.00 (Lift Gate Included)

Total: $2,286.40

Add 37% for exchange and that’s a whopping $3131

The shipping is only $40 more than CONUS shipping which is a total surprise to me.

Try shipping to Hawaii.

Try shipping to Hawaii.

Just order stuff from Asia.

Not likely to happen.

I can't imagine what shipping to Hawaii would cost... ugh

 

[DavidR8]

I guess I could buy it from PM via eBay as the total cost is a few hundred dollars less

Try calling or PM Matt & see what he could do for you. Mention that you are a member here (since he's a site sponsor) & mention that on ebay total shipped is cheaper than your quote. He may work out a deal with you since he'd be avoiding ebay fees if purchased directly.

Good idea Will!

Just give him time to respond. I'm sure he is a busy man more than ever. At times he was hard to get a hold of back when I bought my lathe & mill but Matt is always awesome to work with & this was before I joined this site & long before he was a site sponsor here. I have always dealt with Matt directly.

My ship has passed under the bridge and come into port!

milling machine

9 x 48 milling machine, Bridgeport clone, 3 phase motor, variable speed spindle, coolant pump, DRO, vise, R8 collets, power feed on x axis. Sadly too big for my shop. Can run on rotary phase converter or VFD if using single phase. Machine has had only light use, very good condition. Serious...
