DHL to remote locations
#1
Since April 2020, DHL started charging an extra fee for "remote locations" in my area.
I'm not even that far out of town, but out of their delivery zone. I used to get them to drop packages at their depot in town so I can go pick them up for free, but now they charge $38 extra for that, even though they don't have to do the last mile delivery...

Here is a link to the PDF listing all the postal codes worldwide affected by that surcharge :

It's a 234 pages document listing about 100 000 postal codes.

So I'm wondering if Pine64 is working on offering alternative options for shipping?
People living in those areas who order a $150 pinephone will pay DHL $63 (25+38) shipping before duty and local taxes...
That's almost 50% of the cost of the phone for shipping... I'm sure there must be cheaper options.

I feel your pain, but Covid killed most delivery options...

I wonder if there's any postcode NOT in their regional list Tongue

I have just been bitten by this and worse, twice my orders been cancelled for it so I'm also paying $45+ in currency conversion fees for each order/cancel round. This is the most expensive laptop I've ever bought - thankfully it's (hopefully) awesome Big Grin
