Hey Framework, how about sending some laptops down under? I still am not able to buy any from the website here in NZ

    Same here! I have one but can't get components any more because they locked down freight forwarding 🙁

    I suppose you could just get someone to ship them to you. Of course then you would have to trust them.

    Yeah, they do ship to Oz. But you can't pay with an NZ card so you've gotta do a whole thing where you send money internationally to a friend then they pay and order and receive it then ship it to you. It seems like a big ask for contacting a distant relative out of the blue and asking them to do that.

    The time of the great smuggling has arrived 🤭 with that much money that can be saved, I bet we see a big spike in smuggled goods. I mean, if the price is higher than the risk of smuggling, it is a no-brainer.
