Where to purchase in France/Europe?

bfredo123

Hi, what is your recommendation to purchase PowerFeather boards, for delivery in France (or Europe, more generally)?
Last time I did, it was via Elecrow, but I had to pay a crazy amount for custom taxes, as it was from Philippines.

Many thanks for advising!
Best regards

bfredo123 Unfortunately I don't have distributors in Europe. I tried contacting Pimoroni, but unfortunately didn't receive a reply. That reminded me that I have to follow up with them!

Just out of curiosity, how much in terms of % of the product price you had to pay, and does France/Europe have sort of de minimis system (up to certain amount where no customs tax applied on import)?

@powerfeatherdev I don't remember exactly, but it was roughly the same price as the board itself, possibly even more!

Sorry, I don't know anything about the rules for these custom taxes, but I would guess there is no minimum.

I am a real fan of your board, and of the support you provide - I would love to reuse it on other projects 🙂 Best wishes for any kind of growth!!

Ouch, that definitely stings. I've sent follow up e-mails to distributors I contacted months ago, unfortunately none of them replied back.

Thank you for the kind words! Also of you are able to, please spread the word 😃
