Yep, shipping is a killer to here. I know we have great scenery n'that but it sucks for consumerism.

I suspect that the old "Slow boat to China" is Fedex 3 Day Express when compared to shipping to New Zealand.

I am sure shipping from here to anywhere 'Near Antarctica' is spendy.

Yea looks like my local MLC guys are not affiliated with Mastercam anymore. Too bad, they were really responsive and good to work with. I have not had the same experience with the Mothership.

Attention Mothership. Prove me wrong, please.

Especially after MLC spent a decade hoovering up a bunch of regional resellers, I thought they'd be big enough to hold out.  But I guess even though they became a bigger blob, they weren't big enough to not get blobbed by Sandvik.

And another one down.

There goes our reseller.

I did NOT have that on my Bingo Card at all. 

I had CAD/CAM Consulting, MLC, and another big one that escapes me ATM surviving. 

Guess I ought to rethink that.

We would have been keen on them.
