shipping very expensive
hey everyone i live in Qatar, and just to see how much the shipping would be for the 900 MHz i just tried to check out the 850 version and shipping to Doha - Qatar ( where i stay ) with UPS worldwide expedited is 97.59 USD, and UPS saver 101.23 USD, that's just unacceptable and very expensive. why so? and why do we not have other choices like FedEx or DHL or even others... why are we restricted on using just UPS, we should have more options... i have done other purchases from other websites and normally the shipping would be between 20 USD to 40 USD as a maximum... but not 97 USD ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

He said he was checking the web site and started an order for the 850 just to check what the shipping cost would be. -id Flyin_bbb8 wrote: Federico, did you already order from the openmoko shop? or you're waiting for the 900 MHz version? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
