One thing I'd like to have a guarantee of is that the device will be delivered to my door and I'm not asked to go pick it up. To be honest this is mainly due to the whole COVID paranoia going on... let's just say I'm not a fan of the new norm and am not looking to pick fights in mass transit because someone expects me to wear NWO accessories on my face, I prefer staying in my home having little to do with the outside world and only going out to local shops when needed. The problem is that based on my experiences ordering from eBay in the past that some products arrive at a post office in the city center, I often had to go there to pick it up and they'd ask for additional money to be paid upfront, it's very far so there's no way of getting there on foot. I live in Romania, Bucharest (the capital).
Can people from different countries (especially Europe and Romania) share their experience with the delivery process please? Did you receive a notice by mail to go somewhere and pick up the device, or did the mailman bring it at your doorstep as I'm hoping will be the case here? It seems the huge additional shipping fees are calculated when placing an order for the PinePhone on the website (150$ becomes 200$ for this reason) so I'm hoping it includes any and every fee anyone could possibly want.
I think it rather depends on the person handling the delivery.
Since you said you're in Romania, I would have assumed that the people there aren't as likely to believe in the whole convid psyop, so pretty surprised they're not acting normal there ("new normal" = abnormal).
I myself don't live in Europe or any western country, but I get everything delivered at the door with no problem at all, nobody ever even requests me to wear a mask which I never wear.
Sometimes when Amazon handles the delivery themselves they'd put the item in front of my door and just sends out an email confirming delivery, but for the most part it's still just like in the pre-clownworld era (aka, before 2020).
So again, this all depends on either the individual delivering, or the delivery company, so not something Pine64 can really do about.
