Just want to let everyone know, we finally found a way to help get the cost of shipping to Europe down, and help another 3D printer parts company expand too! Take a minute, if you see him on here, and say hey.
As anyone who's seen scale pics or one in person can tell you, the MAX is a HUGE machine when it comes to 3D printers! Although it's packed full of 42" of awesomeness, apparently our boys in brown and the USPS don't think it's awesome enough to ship for a decent rate

We have now come up with a game plan to get around that! CreativeMachines, located in the UK, will be receiving the Parts/Hardware, electronics, and all the CNC machined and injection molded parts from US, and will then locally lasercut the large sheets and T Slot aluminum extrusions. by not having to ship those large pieces, anyone in and around the EU should be able to get a Rostock MAX kit through CreativeMachines and have around 25 euro or less shipping! Holy Cow! It's been running around $180 USD for UK, Ireland, Russia etc..., so that's a huge savings for the customers, and at the same time, CreativeMachines will be able to grow as well.
We really look forward to using this venture as a model for how we as a little shop with an awesome product, can get it in the hands of the people who want it, for an affordable price. There are a few more countries we are looking into finding similar small shops that can take advantage of a lasercutter and some local resources to grow.
Thanks guys,
