Why is it taking so long for Framework's products to become available in other countries? It's been more than two years and three product generations + an entirely new product, and you still can't even pre-order in the vast majority of regions.
There are plenty of electronics products on Kickstarter that can be ordered from dozens of countries even while the product is still in development, so why is this so difficult with Framework?
- nrp 3y agoWe shared in an earlier blog post some of what goes into setting up infrastructure for new countries: https://frame.work/blog/scaling-up-infrastructure https://frame.work/blog/scaling-up-infrastructure On Kickstarters specifically, I have worked in a company that made the mistake of not limiting country availability, and ran into the massive downstream problems with that afterwards: products blocked at customs due to missing certifications or registrations, along with tax issues and penalties.
