Given all the good reviews of this unit from the archives and the superb price point from Japan [ as I don't need another LCR meter] I ordered one of these on Oct 13th, 2013, EDT. It arrived Oct 18, 2013 from Japan on my door 6pm EDT, faster than most US sellers. The packaging was superb, its one solid box of cushion, and excellent customs documentation; no duties. My experiences with Japanese packaging is it always tend to be both functional and very aesthetic relative to US standards. Based on the postage, this cost about $24 to ship. Kudos to the seller.
