Re: Worldwide shipping
? Frankly, I don't quite get your latest line of outbursts. I wasn't suggesting that GolDeliCo should do *any* thing in *any* point - I was merely stating my experiences with sending packages to Russia (which, BTW, are in line with pichlo's ones). Obviously (also), my comment about "unknown reasons" was reffering to your own suggestion from #26, that it may depend "on city, or even street".
Where you see"suggestion to follow my superior insight" is anyone's guess - of course you would see it too, if you wouldn't be focusing on personal attacks with "i don't like you" rationale, for which yiu have long history of doing so. --- Still, I know better than expect reasonable approach from someone who used to delete own posts with <6 thanks, to artifically keep thanks ratio high. Giving you a taste of your own "medicine": *patronizing tone of joerg* "Your past behavior wasn't forgotten." --- Considering (lack of) partner for conversation, I'll end it here, as our little "diplomatic" discussion is derailing thread, that should be focused on pichlo's worldwide shipping initiative - and, by extension, it may be hurting Neo900 project, which is more important than your little pathetic ego. Or mine, for that matter. /Estel |

Re: Worldwide shipping
Gentlemen, could you please relax and put down your weapons. Personal attacks do not help anyone.
For all I care, joerg_rw's repost of whitequark's IRC post (#21) is almost a verbatim copy of shanttu's internet link (#28). It is hard to accept that as a coincidence, it is more likely that one quotes the other or both quote from the same source. Curiously, none of them contains a link to an official statement by Pony Express, DHL etc, but as far as I am concerned, it is irrelevant since I am not going to use any of the listed couriers. They may have an issue with Russia due to delays but my experience is that Royal Mail ships to Russia just fine, albeit slowly. For an added piece of mind, I will go and have a chat at my local Post Office on Monday. I wanted to wait with my reply until after that chat to give you solid facts but the last two posts made me react immediately. |
Re: Worldwide shipping
please note that this seems to be a pretty recent new situation strictly with express carriers, though similar problems been reported by PaulFertser a few years ago with a N900 sent from Nokia. He needed a company addr since Nokia wasn't able to ship to private address (see quote of DHL proforma invoice below).

HTH, I'm out of this particular topic now. I'm sure you'll find ways to manage all that mess. :-) /j |
Re: Worldwide shipping
To be clear, DHL, FedEx and UPS are not going to provide services for personal use anymore. I mean if you are not company you can't use them. It's related to the latest changes in laws and bureaucracy that makes it even harder for them.
http://www.foxbusiness.com/industrie...ies-to-russia/ I think it's related for finally getting fully supported service of PayPal in Russia, as before it was limited. |
Re: Worldwide shipping
This is what Royal Mail has to say on the topic of posting to Russia:
http://www.royalmail.com/russian%2520federation I found that link on Saturday but went to the Post Office today as promised to ask if there is anything else I should know. The result -
So it was a useful exercise. I have learned something new today. I did not even know there was an express delivery service to non-UK addresses. So, to reiterate, Russia is still on the list. But of course, the final decision is on you. As of today (2014-01-27), I have only one "customer" and that is not from Russia :) |
Re: Worldwide shipping
It may be just me, but I think your offer isn't visible enough in Neo900 main thread's opening post. It is burried as The Very Last Link on the page - without self-explanatory title of what it's about - and, to make think more funny, it is JUST after link to post where it is stated that there *won't* be shipping to unsupported countries.
As always, it's just mere (and polite) suggestion - not demanding anything (some people need that repeated and sugar-coated ALL over again...) - but it might be sensible to give the link at least decent title, like: "For shipping to locations outside official list, see: <url_to_pichlo_post>". BTW, huge thanks to DDark for updating first post of this thread with link to pichlo's offer and clear description. /Estel |
Re: Worldwide shipping
Thanks Estel, and especially thanks Jörg. I did not even realize I've been linked to from the main thread's first post. That should teach me to re-read the first posts of interesting threads (I usually only read what's new and updated posts do not show up - wink wink ;)).
To be honest, I am quite happy with the visibility as it is. This thread is a sticky, the link to my offer is in the first post thanks to DDark, and now we know that it is also linked from the main thread's first post. Works fine for me. Those who want will find it. Those who don't find it probably shouldn't. Those who have found it and did not express an interest... well, you are probably still trying to figure out if I am a crook. Or have doubts if I can really pull it off. Or don't like the idea that you may end up paying the tax twice. Or may have a better way of ordering (like friends in "supported" countries etc, as we have seen with Jolla orders). Either way is fine. This offer is free and so are you. |
Re: Worldwide shipping
I am grateful to pichlo's effort. Unfortunately I just got the additional bills to pay in each month, starting from this year. To purchase a device which may cost more than 300 EUR eventually seems not to be the right decision for my living recently.
So, good luck guys. |
