for  All Strippit CNC Punch Machines that have The HECC80 CNC Controls.

Many Strippit HECC80 Control Machines have been Exported from Strippit Factory in Akron, New York.    And many Machines were Exported from the  "Used"  Marketplace.

In addition,  Strippit used to send  HECC80 CNC Control  "Kits"  to Press & Shear Company in England,  and to Promocam in France,  where  "Strippit"  Machines were build in Europe with Local Labor & Material Content.  

Sadly,  both Press & Shear and Promocam Companies are now Out of Business. 

As a side note,  Amada bought Remnants of Promocam Company.

That's where Amada got their Up-Acting Brake Designs,  from Promocam.

A big part of Machine Technologies Business is Shipping Repair Parts and doing

Circuit Board Repairs for these HECC80 Control Machines to Support our Many Customers around the World,  as the Strippit Company has Abandoned them.

We are Happy to Service all these Customers,  but We Need Your Help,  to Help You!

We Very Much Prefer that Our International Customers have  Their Own

DHL,  UPS,  or  FedEx  Shipping Account that We can use to Ship Their Repair Parts.

This is because,  while we can somewhat  Estimate Shipping Costs,   it has Proven

Impossible to Estimate Import Countries'   Taxes,   Duties,   Government Fees,

Brokerage Fees,  and   Extra Shipper-Fees that are Sometimes Added-On.

Sometimes these  Various Import Fees,  Duties,  &  Taxes have been  Erroneously

Back-Billed to Us  by Shipping Carrier,  which has caused us a Great Deal of Difficulty.

So again,

We Prefer that International Customers have Their Own International Shipping Account.

We Recommend using   DHL,   UPS,  Or   FedEx  Shipping Companies.

This way,  we will only Charge you for Actual Repair Parts Cost Only,  and

actual Shipping Costs will be Billed to you by your Own Local Shipping Company.

Most of our Customers Pay for their Repair Parts with a Visa or MasterCard Credit Card.

Large Part Orders involving Large Dollar Amounts will be Paid by Bank Wire-Transfer.

When we are Provided with a Valid Shipping Account & Payment,  we Normally Ship Parts within 24 Hours,  and they arrive in most places in the World in only 2 to 3 days.

As soon as Parts have Shipped,  We  Email Customer with Transaction Details and

Tracking Number of Parts Shipment,  so you can  Track Your Parts Shipment Online.

Note!   If you are Shipping Parts to Machine Technologies to be Repaired & Returned,  Please contact us for our Shipping Address,  as you can  Not Ship to our  P.O. Box!!!

It is our anecdotal experience,  that  DHL &  FedEx  seem to do a better job of Overseas Deliveries,  and also seem to be Cheaper,  than UPS.   But UPS does get the Job Done.

Also,  Make sure Your-Account Allows a Third-Party  (Like Us)  to use Your Shipping Account to Export to You!      Links to   DHL,   UPS,   and   FedEx  are Provided below.

Note!    The TNT-Express Co.  Does Not Pick-Up  or  Deliver to This Area at All!

TNT  will Say that they Service this Area,  but they have DHL-Express Co.  Pick-Up

Package Here,  then Deliver it to TNT Somewhere Else,  then TNT Reships it to You!

This is Stupid and You End-Up Paying for 2 Shipments and Added Extra Shipping Time!

It would be Quicker & Cheaper to Just use DHL  (or  FedEx  or  UPS)  to Pick up Your Parts Package Here and Deliver it Directly to You!     So,  We Will Not Ship With TNT.

With some   Preferred Repeat  Customers who Do Not Have a Shipping Account, 

we do Deviate from this Policy Sometimes. 

With these Customers,  Using Their Visa or MasterCard Credit Card;

1  --  We Charge Your Credit Card  Just for the Repair-Parts Total  on Shipment Day.

        This is the First Credit Card Charge,  Just for Repair-Parts Cost.

2  --  When we Receive Invoice Bill for Shipping,  a couple of weeks later,

        we Charge your Credit Card Again

        Just for the Actual Shipping-Charges   Plus  4%  for our Charge-Costs.  

        This is Second Credit Card Charge,  Just for Shipping-Costs.

3  --  When Shipping,  We Fill-Out Shipping Waybill Paperwork Forms for 

       "Collect All Duties & Taxes From Receiver",   and these Fees Should be

       Collected at Package Delivery-Time,   from You The-Receiver.

       It is  Cheaper for You to Pay Any Duties & Taxes at Package Delivery-Time.

       Sometimes Shipping Carrier does Not Properly Collect these Duties & Taxes

       from the Receiver (You),  and Back-Bills them to Us in Another Invoice Bill.

       If this happens,  then we will Charge your Credit Card a Possible

       Third Time for Just These Duties & Taxes,  Plus  4%  for our Charge-Costs.

This is a Bit Messy,  but has  Actually been Working Quite Well  for Us and Our Overseas Customers that do not have Import Shipping Accounts.

It has to be this Way,  or else  Get Your Own Import Shipping Account!

If you have a Better Way to Handle This,  Then Please Let Me Know!

We have had Trouble with the  U.P.S.  Shipping Company.    They do get Packages Delivered OK,  but UPS seems to Make a Lot of Billing Mistakes,  In Their Favor,  and then Jack-Up Shipping Charges they Bill You & Me for.    They just  "Upgraded"  Service  on 1 of my Shipments from  "Standard"  to  "Express"  and then Charged me  3-Times the  "Standard"  Rates!   

They often add  "Documentation",   "Duty & Tax Forwarding Surcharges"  and Other Charges they Dream-Up!    For this Reason,  I Recommend Overseas Customers get a FedEx Shipping Account.

In January 2009,  DHL Discontinued all U.S. Domestic  (U.S. State to State)  Shipping-Service,  and Layed-Off about 10,000  U.S.  Workers.    DHL still does International Shipping In & Out of the U.S.    But,  We have been having Trouble with  DHL  Shipping Company Lately.    Their Customer Service has Gone-To-Hell,  and we have spent Over 4 Months trying to get them to Fix a Simple Billing Error where DHL Charged us for  17 LBS.  on a Package that Weighted  1.7 LBS.   Bill Still is NOT Fixed!

I Recommend my Overseas Customers get a  FedEx Shipping Account.

I Recommend my Overseas Customers get a  FedEx Shipping Account, 

as FedEx Co. seems to be the Fastest,  Efficient,  and  Reliable of Express-Air Shipping Companies.

I sometimes use the U.S. Mail Postal Service to Ship.   The U.S. Mail System Delivers Your Package to Your Countries' Mail System,  and Your Countries' Mail System does the Final Delivery to You.

The Down-Sides of Mail Delivery is that it is Slow at about 1 to 2 Weeks Overseas,  and the Package Tracking is not as Good.   The Up-Side is that Mailing is about Half the Cost of Other Shipping Companies.    Cost & Tracking can be Calculated at Provided Web Hot-Link.    Your Cost is the Actual Mail Shipping Cost and a  $10.00 Service Fee as I have to Drive into Town to Ship U.S. Mail.
