Offline Store? - mystery - 07-29-2023
Is it possible to buy Pine64 hardware offline? Like, you go to a physical store, pay in cash, take your order, and that's it. Nobody cares what's your name and address. No delivery, KYC, etc. Shipping company, for example, can mess with the package or damage it.
Is *at least one* of the folowing options possible? It'd be great in the EU store. If not, are there any plans for that?
1. Anonymous orders (in person, or by email, etc.).
2. Cash payments.
3. Personal pickup of orders in the store.

That would be great indeed, but keep in mind that the EU is big. Unless you live near Wrocław, a pick-up option in the EU store would not help you all that much, would it?
I think a more realistic idea would be to get existing local physical stores to carry Pine64 hardware. But so far I am not aware of any that does.

No, it is not possible at the present time & you’re raising a lot of red flags for even posting such a question.

Also, just one of your three points will not really improve your privacy, you would really need all three combined for a truly anonymous purchase.
