And the delivery method, I think EMS is cheap and nice for most of the country, except Germany , Brazil and maybe a little more.

We are paying 60$/piece for shipping, i think that even some high end product of DHL should be feasible.

I always receive things from DHL when i have to pay for import taxes.

with a 50% discount, 60 USD is the price for a 2 kg package deliver to EU or 3 kg package deliver to US.

So EMS and not DHL for a price reason?

at least a part of ...

EMS is fine with me in France.

[DeepBit]

Yes, EMS is great (may be except some countries).

I don't see why that service in Germany is allowed to force you into using their customs brokerage ? Can't you sue them for this ? :)

+1 for DHL - Shopments get stolen or lost with EMS in my country

Maybe we could ask to pay a plus and use DHL/whatever...

could we clarify this? is $60 USD shipping for an entire person's order, or is it per unit?

Yifu Guo told me per unit

[cedivad]

It's per unit, but extra weight dosent come in for free.

[SolarSilver]

It's per unit, but extra weight dosent come in for free.

True but it does not scale linearly like this, unless you exceed certain weights like 70 kg with UPS, then it's a fixed price per kg.

On the other hand, it's just so much easier to calculate when you have an ordering site... no need to check from zipcode to zipcode how much it really costs. Just calculate $USD 60 / unit as the average price. Some will pay too much, some will pay too little.

Give these guys a break, I'll be glad to pay a bit too much if they can get the hardware out in time, instead of having to deal with fulfillment issues...

[cedivad]

Yes, I tought about it just after I wrote the message

But since that some posts in my language talking about EMS suppose a ~20 days delivery time, and this might do the difference, it will be great to:
-1 be able to pay an extra for other shipment providers
-2 to have an estimated delivery time (when the time will come)
-3 since that the cost dosent scale linearly as you said, to have to pay the right amount for bigger orders.

Anyway I agree, let's let these guys working.

[chrcoe01]

if I were buying a ton of them i would not be happy with the $60/unit price, but I just wanted to make sure so I can budget accordingly

Thanks for the answer.

[OgNasty]

So am I correct in seeing that preorders are suspended until the "next wave" of orders is ready?

Any idea when this will be?

he said it might be this weekend, but he would send out emails to the email subscription list about 24 hours ahead of time from what I read.

also, the power consumption is pretty low, can Avalon beat that?
