I ordered one to New Zealand when they initially released. Had no problem going through a shipping redirection service (YouShop) but did have to pay import duty and some other fees on top of regular GST which wasn't cheap. Also pretty sure I have no warranty coverage because framework wasn't technically selling outside of the USA at the time. Still totally happy with my purchase. I imagine the purchase experience would be a lot smoother now.

They really bleed us dry, don't they? We get shit all choice for computers and when we branch out beyond noel leeming or pbtech, we get slapped with import duties.

  Isn’t it your own government enforcing import fees?

    That would be who the "they" refers to, yes!

  And you you still get to pay the sales tax at the origin to boot!
