multiplanetary shipping is ok and all, but the cool boys are offering intergalactic. If you need to ask the shipping rate, you can't afford it.

I have found that Asian Manufacturers (even if they have a British Sales office) refer to machines as ‘Hobby’ . . . based on the small size of the machining window.
Terminology varies across different cultures.
