"Why not ship the Pi kit to Guadeloupe from Canada with the rest of your stuff?"Good point, and thinking about it.
However double shipping and double customs (Canada will get me for GST sales tax in the very least). My cost from Canada to Guadeloupe is $4.17 a Kg or higher.
Also I'm interested in building other larger models later. The experience of shipping from USA to Guadeloupe on this item of lesser expence would be the way to test run.
Thanks for the input.
