Let me know if you have questions.
Don't want to hijack the thread, but how much did you end up paying in shipping, brokerage and taxes when you ordered from rapid led? I'm considering an order from them myself, but was worried about what the end cost would be..

Thanks,
Rob.

I ordered the $69 premium pico kit with 6 LEDs and shipping was $12.95 via USPS priority which was suppose to be 1-3 days according to the invoice but it took close to 3 weeks to actually get here. I didn't pay any brokerage or taxes, exact total was $81.95 US.

Sorry I haven't been on much lately. My order from Rapid LED was for a 12 LED kit, including pre-drilled heatsink, driver, lenses for both white and blue and the accessories for it all. Total shipping bill was $20US and didn't pay any duties, etc.

I've e-mailed with the guy from there and they have some excellent utube videos for showing you how to work with their products. Never ordered from there though.
