Awesome! If there was anything I wanted to attribute to the rising Bitcoin price it would be Bitcoinstore's success. Great!

So good for the U.S.A. citizens, they can buy electronics for BTC. Did the article mention that some purchases are from outside the U.S.A.? I wonder what the shipping costs would be to Europe.

Edit: Nevermind, I read the article. Too high fees is the answer.

I ordered a computer from them, took over 20 days for them to ship it.

I did get the computer though and it is as advertised.

The shipping is way too high. Not sure if I would buy from them again.

Was the item backordered?

We're working on better communicating that when customers shopping.

Also from where did you purchase it?
If it was outside of the U.S.A I wouldn't be surprised of a high shipping fee as stan.distortion mentioned.

This times lots.  I'll be in the market for a new laptop soon, and nothing would make me happier than to buy it from the bitcoinstore.  However shipping costs may make that unviable for people that need to purchase BTC to make payments.
