What I'd like to know is how much non-USains will be paying in customs.
I remember backing it when it cost 700$ or something, looking up the customs for UK and gasping. It was about 150£. Don't know what it's going to be for Australia or the EU.
There was also a thread not long ago about Brazil and India having sky-high customs that nearly doubled the price of imported electronic goods.
- seba_dos1 6y agoI paid 350 zł (about $90) when I was receiving my Librem 5 Birch in Poland. Most of that was VAT and I even got that written off.
- wheybags 6y agoI bought a librem 13 years ago and got fucked on customs. ~500 Euros iirc. I completely forgot that import tax was a thing because I'd never had to pay it before, since I bought stuff from the EU, or that was too cheap to matter. I remember reading something about them partnering with someone in Germany to alleviate this, but I didn't find anything concrete with a quick search just noe.

- wheybags 6y agoI'm really happy with it. I don't heavily use my laptop, mostly only when traveling. The only problem I've had with it is I discovered recently that the built in microphone isn't working, but I never tried to use it until about 3 or so years after I bought it, so I've no idea if it arrived like that or got broken later.
- elric 6y agoYMMV but generally speaking you pay whatever the normal VAT rate would be + some import rate (~5-10% generally) + some handling fee. Usually around 30% is a safeish estimate. It obviously depends on where you live, what import rates and VAT rates you have and so on.
