So let's run down some numbers.
I paid the usual $99 for the computer. Then $37 for shipping. After all that I got a message telling me I needed to pay more for shipping to "remote area" (not pine64 makers fault. It's DHL.) that was $33 extra. After all that I had to pay $65 for taxes and DHL fees.
So after all that my Pinebook ended up costing around $234.
Is my pinebook worth the 99 USD? Hell yes. Is it worth the 234 USD? Eh no. If you can get the system only for the shipping cost then great! But for most EU countries... I wouldn't do it.
Anyways I got my system really well packed and it even had some charge in it so I got to use it right away. Time to start tinkering It might have ended up costing a bit more I wanted but it's fine. Atleast I have something to do.
Yea, that is unreasonable.
