They will ship to Germany. I think you can contact them and arrange for cheaper shipping than what the website says.
+1  :-+

You might also get in touch with Simon, as he's started carrying Probemaster in his store (not sure of the selection; I do know he sells the spring loaded probes). BTW, he's located in the UK.

I just received these probes from Frankie.   Flexible silicone wires, very nice for the price.   As you can see, yellow/green is an option which I think is great when you are working with two meters.  I also asked for blue/white, but Frankie could not get them.   He sold me the B/W silicone wire to build my own.

Again, great for the price!

Ah thanks, that's a good info.
Need to hurry though... UK is leaving the EU!   ;)

Thanks!

I know they ship world wide, but I want to avoid the hassle w/
customs. It's a very unpleasant experience here.

Believe me, I understand. Swiss customs is brutal. (CHF62 is the duty-free limit, beyond that they charge the MwSt and another 3% plus CHF16.  >:( >:( >:( I pretty much only order from Amazon, since they handle their own customs clearance for free and only charge the MwSt, which I find entirely fair.)

Yeah, the custom and tax is horrible.
Need to stay below EUR 150,-- in Germany, incl. postage etc. of course to avoid tariff.
Tax is on to top anyway.

Ahh... and don't forget the half of a work day you spend at the customs office...  given that you're in early!

Still, will ask Probemaster for a cheaper delivery option.
