Technical- Argentina! This is not shown in your distributor list<A href='http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/picaxe/ ' Target=_Blank>External Web Link</a>. Can you PLEASE update s.a.p.!?
With many Picaxe newbies initially wanting just a single to trial, it's daunting for them to have to swallow 12 (?)GBP p&p from UK of course. Hence I'm CONTINUALLY getting "sob story" email (from schools/trade/hobbiests) re Picaxe outlets from such places as India, Sth Africa, Zimbabwe, Lebanon -& of course even the USA -& have weakened at times by posting off an 08 or 2 ...
It seems your Canadian (Alberta) outlet www.HVWTech.com <A href='http://www.HVWTech.com ' Target=_Blank>External Web Link</a> offers seamless sales cross border to the US as well. Are they the semiofficial Nth. American agent hence? What about Peter Anderson <A href='http://www.phanderson.com' Target=_Blank>External Web Link</a> ???
In fact, even here in NZ, well known & busy Picaxe outlets such as Surplustronics (Auckland) & Mailtronics (Tauranga) are not mentioned. With the NZ/Aus NZ school year just about to roll it'd be great to just say to stressed out local electronics teachers " Check the distrib. list at www.picaxe.com " ... Perhaps this list should also boldly state your direct sales p&p & (offsetting) VAT immunity for export sales? As I've mentioned often in the past, freighting may be costly, but it's so seamless & FAST (UK-NZ ~4 days) that it may be very attractive for last minute planners & harrassed educators etc
<b>I can't stress enough how important this is! </b> Folks who hear/read/web browse about Picaxes may loose interest when they can't easily BUY THEM. It's akin to getting excited about -mmm- chocolate but never knowing where it's sold. Stan
