I wonder why Pine64 does not ship using gearbest or geekbuying sites, which offers this kind of transport which is much cheaper. Is it too complicated to make a contract with these online shops?
Over here in the EU, all my deliveries from China have to go through customs. I have to pay VAT on all of them. One thing that I could have saved is the DHL handling fee. But then, it took the Pinebook less than 60 hours from HK to over here, whereas China Mail usually takes 30 days. Yes, China Mail is cheaper, but I don't like to wait 30 days.
