Brief note (as knowingly any "meltdown" procedure here seem to have priority in deleting any posts "from abroad"... ):

went into a shopping spree today and ordered like a dozen parts for the mangled NT700VA my GF managed to crash in September '25...

Nah, just strip off the broken and start replacing! Works well! ;)

I won't even talk about that AZST1300 I've been working on since last January! :rolleyes:

Shipment to Austria might be expensive.

Already shipping within "the old world" has grown expensive...

And its beyond me why the tariffs for sending items to a landlocked nation like AuSTria are getting exorbitant...
At times shipment fees can exceed the actual price of the goods ordered...
Germany -> Austria, standard: € 25,- (for a small, lightweight item like a front brake lever... nuts!...)
thankfully I have an account at a forwarding agent near the border, and by using this address it suddenly reads:
Germany -> Germany: FOC... aha... :cautious:
the forwarder then utilizes the Austrian mail system for the 'last mile' at less then € 5,-... I just saved € 20,-...

Even shipment fees from UK or France are suddenly cut by half when using the "Teutonic" ZIP code & addy of named forwarder... :unsure:

But compared to the surrounding countries we also have to pay two to three times the price on food and beverages at the stores...
And mind that those food-chains are almost exclusively operated by German based corps... #idiot tax... :confused:
