As someone who just ordered one to the EU, you people in the US finally get a taste of your own medicine :) I can't even recount how many times I've wanted to order something, and not until the final step before doing the payment they put up a "Sorry, we only accept orders within the US & Canada".

Wanna create a parcel bouncing service? One address here, one over there, charge for shipping and handling

  We'd get a bulk discount on shipping sending containers of goods. But the sorting and re shipping sounds like Amazon level logistics

    We will be a success if we have that scale of problems :)

I'd like to order one as well (EU, too), but I'm a bit repelled by the $35 tax on top of the price. Did you pay the same tax? Did you research whether you'll have to pay customs fees as well?

  Order total: ~$300, where ~$50 is taxes and ~$50 is shipping. I did not research any customs fees, as I've been craving the device since I came across this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31534257 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31534257 (2 months ago), so don't really care about the custom fees.

    That's in fact a lot cheaper. Nice one, thanks!

    Even though it states on web page on big letters, that it ships to Canada. It does not. Canada not available. (I suspect same with USA)

Well, if your fellow EU breatheren weren't such a hot spot for internet fraud.../s Do these same fraudsters hit other EU online sites as much as they hit US based sites?
