But you can of course order online laptops / tablets and phones from Europe to Finland. Never understood that.
Yes, I have heard also about these cases. I have the impression that the limitation only applies to private people in Finland, not companies.

Edit: And Turku Customs in the tracking log might indicate that the sender is actually private person and not Jolla...

If this is not a Jolla package and instead a private person, Dave999 is actually right for once. Try sending things with batteries with couriers abroad without proper declarations and you'll very sure to get a shipping exception.

My jphone is not accepted for air transport! Maybe that's why Marc Dillon is missing, driving around delivering jphones in person. Anyway, this got me thinking, what about an explosive OH? Just slap it on, set the timer and kaboom! If anyone at DHS reads this post I doubt that the jphone will be allowed to be sold in the US. :P
Its probadly that damn battery! The rules has changed in that area latest years.

To me this sound like a big problem for Shipment. Because its not easy to get those papers ready in short time...

We can just hope they can ship as many as possible via train... But that means longer shipment time is my guess..

EDIT: woops private sending... has nothing todo with Jolla

Itella is lacking permission from Trafi (Finnish transport safety agency) to send lithium-batteries abroad in airmail, they may get it during next year.

One story about it (in Finnish): http://www.mpc.fi/kaikki_uutiset/pos...amisen/a942127

Edit: The permission concerns only batteries inside devices, sending batteries as they are won't be allowed in any case (according to article)

hmm now I really think that time has come to take advantage of aquirer option CASHBACK.
This really is very bad logistics preparation, also from Jollas partner for shipping.

I believe you still have to demonstrate that the correct VAT has been paid

Edit. Why this packet is coming from Turku?
Had no problem getting my N9 from Finland a couple of years ago, by plane. And it clearly had a battery in it ...

What about an e-ink OH with the same info? I know I will...

Yes, tht makes sense, because a private sender is unlikely to provide evidence (or even be aware that hey need to provide evidence) that all relevant sales tax has been paid
