[EU] Focbox Unity GroupBuy - closed. Not enough interest

and shipping is calculated at €15.
Add on VAT and duty and you get closer to €280-290euro. If you think you can get it past EU customs and avoid paying duty and VAT then go for it and enjoy your Unity at a lower price.
But if it does get caught and charge then you will be looking at about €40-50€VAT plus €10 duty added on to the €220 (that is a conversion, real price depends on currency prices charged by your credit card since enertion charges in AUD)

Also just looked again now and bulk prices have increased by €10 from €175 to €185.
so at this rate the savings from a group buy will be negligible.

Spoke with customer support. Price is not set, so essentially the price on the website is pretty much a waste of time. Price has increased by €10 overnight so far and who knows if it will go higher or lower between now and launch. Probably saw all the interest on the forums and decided they can jack up the price :money_with_wings::money_with_wings:

The bulk prices will also work similar to the currency Focboc bulk plan, but that has a setup fee and set quantity per tier. So for now we just have to wait until release and see what happens with pricing. That makes all pricing estimates for the group buy useless for now.

yeah this will most likely be a paywhirl thing like the focboxes. I’m looking forward to having these around.

All that said, I’m still in… for now, but that GB saving is looking less attractive.

Just sticking an order in and crossing fingers might be an option.

The regular no bulk price is also increasing with the bulk buy price. So will wait until things are announced with a set price. It may well end up being a waste of time going for a group buy

Pre orders are open now and bulk price is €10 more than when first posted. And orders are now charging postage when yesterday shipping for focbox was showing as free. Total postage on 21 units it an additional €500… I will work everything out and see what the ballpark price will be when I get home.

Base price from enertion shipped is €210 on top of that we have vat and import and EU shipping so a landed and delivered to you price of about €290 vs buying a single unit yourself at €330 so a 40€ saving.

The pre order sale is only 4 days so we don’t have long to get 21 names and cash together. If i interested at that price fill I the form

Not trying tl be a dick here. But if we order now. When will we recieve the unit? Most of us remember last years black friday deal…

The product plan listed on the official post is saying shipping begins November. so I think we can all read that as some time in February to avoid disappointment.

Hey @Moros could you take me off the list please, November is too late for me let alone February.

Many thanks

In my previous experience, I never had to pay VAT with enertion. They somehow managed to ship it to a European warehouse. Is this not the case anymore? But i would like to take two if we get the group buy together

From what I know, when they did more DIY parts they had warehouses but now everything is sent direct from China.

Support has told me shipping isn’t finalised and could change. So waiting to get an answer for that.

Updated main post and price.

First price needed to get this going is €210, with that I can get the order in then once they have shipped I will collect a second payment to cover the VAT, duty and shipping to your location.
Read the main post and fill in the form in you are ready to go.

I am potentially interested however I am in the US so I wouldn’t be subject to a VAT tax

There is a US group buy already setup.

Ok thanks I hadn’t seen it

Hey @Moros just to know, is it looking like this group buy will happen or not? Because otherwise I’ll just jump on the US one and ship it through myus.

A bit off topic, but this is for people in Norway.

It is definitely interesting. However, living in Norway is really bad when it comes to import. We need to pay taxes and VAT on import. That means for a group buy executed from a country in the EU (or whatever else country than Norway), we need to pay whatever the price is included shipping and taxes to/in EU/whatever + shipping to Norway + import taxes in Norway and VAT in Norway.

Maybe the best option is to order from UNIK boards or Enertion directly if it is sold without VAT.

Is there anyone from Poland, who would like to order Unity? It costs now 250$ so I need just one person to order it with free shipping :slight_smile:
