next costumers location

[steve]

I'll get the dimensions on the 10 pack, but we have reduced the size of the individual  box very much.
If you want to guess at shipping, figure at 10 pack will weigh on the order of 3 Kilo, and use the dimensions
Of the Neo 1973 to figure the total package size.

The average of shipping a single phone from US to EU was about  80USD. By making the package smaller,
Creating a 10 pack, I'll drop this Substantially. People can go check out the shipping by using
The data above. 

This plan relies on one thing. People in the community coming together and ordering as a group.

I know
I checked it out a couple of months ago, it will cost (from memory) about 500 NOK (81,98USD or 51,32€) per phone.
But the fee is mainly going after weight.

It are not cheap to live in Norway xD, or what flexd?
