Hello, before some days Hans van der Merwe asked, if it is possible to do group purchases (in South Africa). Unfortunately he got no answer, so I'd like to ask again. I'm from germany and I think there are many people here who like to buy a GTA01 device. If everyone orders a single device it are $20 to $40 for the shipment PLUS 19% VAT on the device INCLUDING the shipment. Let's assume you order a device for $300, shipment is expensive with $40 this are $340, plus VAT it are $405. Now let's assume there are 4 people who want to have a device, the package is still small enough for $40. So we pay ((($300*4)+$40)*1.19)/4 what makes $370 (+$5 for forwarding the packet inland). So everybody could save at least $30, maybe more if it would be possible to send bigger packets.
It would be nice if someone at FIC (Sean? :) ) could tell us if it would be possible to take group orders and how many devices could be shipped at once. Knowing that would be great, because groups could plan the purchase before the 9th.
