I wouldn't get too excited about DHL if you live in a remote location.
I ordered 2 pinephones in 2 separate orders since you can't buy 2 in one order... That means the $25 shipping is times 2.
Then I received notice that DHL now considers my postal code to be a remote location. That's new from last April, they have a 234 pages PDF listing the postal codes that are now considered remote, that's a LOT of postal codes (probably 3/4 of Canada)!!
So the surprise fee is... wait for it..... $38 that's right, of course times 2... so we are now at $126 for shipping of a couple $200 phones and that doesn't even include duty and taxes yet....
Luckily, Pine64 contacted me and the wife to offer us a chance to change our shipping address for one in a big city and skip the $38, but it will still have to get shipped from there to us.
All that to say that I hope Asendia will be available again or that more shipping options will be offered by the time I order a couple pinetabs.
Also, the limit per order should be increased to two to save on shipping if the wife happens to want the same stuff.
