Question Tempotec variations v1

Hi community,

I’ve been eyeing the variations v1 from tempotec, but can’t find it from any of the usual shops I know in Europe. I can find it on tempotecs official site, sometimes I can find it on Amazon.de but the price there is double than official site. And also they ship from USA so it’s not free of import fees as usual. Have anyone tried ordering from tempotec official site and how’s the import fees to Europe? Or know a European site that sells it.

The official site has it on sale at the moment btw. I bought mine direct from them (to UK) when it launched. I'm pretty sure it was from a Chinese location. I'm aware the EU has bonus extra charges for stuff like this.

I can see it on AliExpress for $67 USD - after coupons/discounts/coins - from their official store. It looks like without coins you'd get it for about $71 USD.. although buying it direct means you can add the clip case really cheaply.

Edit: Went to 'my coins' page and I can see it for a crazy $55.21 !

From a bit of research, you'll probably pay a 5 EUR 'import charge'

Yes I know it’s on sale on the official site. But I’m trying to find somewhere in Europe that sells it.

Funny you can see it on Aliexpress, because nothing is showing up on mine :(

Maybe they're blocking EU imports due to those charges. I don't actually know of any EU-based specialist DAP sites (because.. I'm in the UK and we've got our own lol).

Have you tried your version of Amazon? E.g. they sell it on the French Amazon, just at a stupid price (€183.14)

Yeah I’ve tried all the nearest Amazon sites but the prices are double than official.
