I found that by the time I had added on all the costs associated with shipping one of those machines from Aliexpress there was no (financial) advantage to be gained and potentially much to lose.

Members BlackDragon Posted February 23, 2023 Author Members Report Posted February 23, 2023 Thanks everyone for your input. After a lot of back and forth and back again the choice really just fell to shipping cost. I found a local dealer, ZackWhite.com, through another thread and called them up. I opted to make the 3hr drive to them so I'll save on freight costs. Instead of $430 shipping I'll be spending about $90 in gas plus some time. Unfortunately once I get there I'll probably wind up spending the money I saved on toys I my find. Quote
