Alright, so I decided to order one Ledger Nano S, while doing the checkout process, I noticed that I only have USP Express as a shipping which costs around 51 euro (in addition to the cost of the wallet -- 58 Euro) even though, I live in Algeria and the shipping comes from Paris (and that's a few hours flight) and I don't understand why other people have cheaper shipping methods while I only have USP.
I wanted to know If there are some other places other then official website where I could order the wallet with less shipping costs.

Check Ledger Nano S listing on Amazon and see how shipping rate compares?

I guess It's even worst. 58 Euro is about 62 USD while on Amazon.com, the wallet is available for $89.99. Not to mention that the item don't get shipped my country, I will have to use a reship company in that case and the shipping will be with FedEx or DHL and you know how expensive those are. |

It seems like almost all companies charge hefty prices when shipping abroad.
Your best bet is to find a member on here selling the Ledgers themselves or to have one sent to a member and forwarded to you. You'd probably have to pay a little for the service but at least you'll still get the actual shipping cost...

There might be a problem with their shopping cart; you should have the option of a less expensive method of shipping. Why not visit their help center at http://support.ledgerwallet.com/help_center click on help at the bottom and send them an email, see if they can program in a less expensive option to ship to your country. Hope this helps. |

For security reasons, i will suggest you, to buy only direct from the company.
If you search the internet you will find promo codes that will give you discount.

It's probably the worst bet? I mean, It's probably possible that whoever sold me the wallet did something to the wallet to steal my bitcoins later at some point. There might be a problem with their shopping cart; you should have the option of a less expensive method of shipping. Why not visit their help center at http://support.ledgerwallet.com/help_center click on help at the bottom and send them an email, see if they can program in a less expensive option to ship to your country. Hope this helps. I have contacted them and they told me that USP Express is the only option they provide for Algeria, that's why I'm looking for an alternative legit third party option. |

Really if you have enough bitcoin to need a Ledger Nano S you can afford the shipping. You should also buy two while you are ordering in case one malfunctions so you have a spare. You could also check the Trezor shop to see if they have more economical shipping.

Although there are helpful people everywhere, there are malicious intentions too and often it is difficult foresee the malice in someone we do not know. In spite of how I love BCT community, I too would not trust in a wallet product ordered second-hand. Unfortunately, I have not ordered my Ledger Nano S yet due to similar reasons. So my only wish is you would post the option in public if you happened to find a way to resolve this question.

I think if bought directly from the company was better,
and will be good again looking at the site or the internet in order to give a discount code.

I know that's the recommended thing to do but I thought I could find a third party who get supplies from the company Itself. I found discount code but It really doesn't do much. (like 3% off) |

Maybe what you can do is find a freight forwarder that is based off france or londo (UK). You might get better deals there as they could ship it directly to you when they do get the goods on their warehouses. Usually, this is what people from my country (philippines) do when they buy stuff from amazon and ship it here.

I mentioned above that scenario and how It could result into basically the same results. Reship companies use FedEx, DHL and USP Express which are expensive as well. |

I do not know if OP can pull this card, but I have a friend in France, EU. He should be able to get a Ledger Nano S easier, shouldn't he? He will visit me soon. Now, do you know any good offers to order Ledger Nano S in or to France? @OP, not to rip off your discussion. If you are not too far from me and my friend really can bring me Ledger Nano S, why wouldn't we meet for a good deal? I mean, personally.

I don't understand If you want to do a transaction with me or your friend, little bit confused. If you have a friend in France however then this shouldn't be an issue as Ledger are based in France and they have some resellers there, addresses:  |

I've seen them up for auction on eBay before and used ones usually go relatively cheap. Right now there aren't any good deals though, just buy it nows only and they're at least $80. Keep your eye on eBay though, save a search and set up alerts when something new shows up. I'd suggest searching for your specific price range then if something shows up you'll get an email and you can jump on the deal asap.

I'm afraid that I can't travel there though as I will need a Visa and It's not that easy to get and the process takes time. I gave up for the moment to buy online, hopefully It will be available in my country soon (or one day). |

The shipping could be high due to import tariffs being passed on to consumers.
(I don't know if this is true btw.)
I heard it from a brazilian who said brazil's import tariffs made it impossible to order things online, without paying a ridiculous sum of money.
If its true, buying a ledger nano s, could be a question of how to best avoid those import tariffs.
