Hi Kent,
We have just passed the very busy Christmas season and the factory was sligthly slowed down with the large amount of orders. We're back to normal now and turnaround time is 4-6 weeks with slightly longer for your first order since it has to be sent to the factory in China. We normally drop ship to European customers direct from the factory. We typically charge $50 and we can drop ship to your door via FedEx or UPS. This is very efficient since it doesn't have to be shipped to the USA and then on to the customer. It also seems to clear customs without a hitch. German customs are some of the toughest. If you want USPS First Class delivery we can do that for $20--it takes much longer and the chances of getting the order hung up in customs is greater. The drop ship is well worth the extra cost.
Regards,
John
