Can I get spare parts without disproportionate shipping fees?
#1
The back cover of my Pinephone has two cracks and I'm afraid it won't make it much longer.

A replacement only costs $5 -- but shipping to Europe would be an additional 30 (!) Dollars.

Is there any way to circumvent these exorbitant shipping costs, i.e. are there any resellers or collective orders etc?

(To be fair, I this were an iPhone, I'd probably be pleasantly surprised if Apple only charged me $35 (and not 120) for a comparable spare part; but it seems absurd to me that these simple, cheap parts are all shipped individually for $30 each...)

The EU shop is imminent (days). Not sure if it will help us Brits though.
