Swelling issues, Table

Hey Sterling,

It’s very sad that Onefinity is not willing to offer an alternative way to send their products into the world. I am convinced that shipping costs of $650–$1600 EUR for almost all regions of the world is something that keeps many people from buying, or better said should keep them away, if they calculate reasonably.

Of course, there are other shipping methods than DHL Express Air Freight. Not everybody needs it to get the machine within a few days and is willing to pay that much for this.

But you can see from some things that selling to countries outside Canada and USA doesn’t really interest them, you can see that e.g. in this mindless clinging to the technical data given exclusively in imperial/US customary units, although nobody outside the USA uses them anymore.

They prefer to leave the market outside the USA to others at the moment (good for the others :slight_smile:). However, their product is actually a product for rich pensioners, and in the EU soon one third of the population will be rich pensioners. But it is every businessman’s right to have their own ideas.

I would say, if you need a CNC machine, and you are fascinated by the design of the Onefinity CNC machine, don’t forget that you still have to consider the price/performance ratio, and for the chunk of shipping costs you don’t get any performance.
