They ask $70 for P&P to Germany - I don't understand why they don't offer more options. Adding postage and taxes to the great price makes it rather uninteresting. I've asked Genesi about this and they said they're 'looking into further possibilities of distribution". I guess the candidates for that are stocked with old price Efikas and are not willing to order more.

If you are from the EU and willing to order for ~100€, please post here or PM me. I hope we can setup a collective order.

Sorry folks,

I was trying to assemble a larger Efika order to compensate for the extreme shipping charges or even relay it through a US address but:
- US shipping charges are ridiculous as well
- each additional board adds $10 shipping
- ordering a completely assembled client package costs less[/i] P&P than a single Efika board - what the ....

So it's obvious Bill is trying to hook us with a nice price and then rip us off when actually trying to order. I'm not gonna fall for that, so ordering is cancelled unless this is sorted out - probably indefinitely.

The Efika was developed by German bplan - I don't think it's produced here though (too high costs). I'll try contacting bplan directly, maybe they can give a hint.
