$42 for shipping such a tiny thing? I've never paid so much for shipping not going to start now.
And why all the payment weirdness? crypto or ACH transfer only? Even in satoshi's white paper it is said that crytpo is not expected to eliminate fiat but compliment it.
I can buy all sorts of mining -crypto related- stuff with traditional payment methods. I hope this weirdness ends.
Just some feedback... I thought we were going to see a payment portal that accepted traditional payment methods.

More important then payment options (I mean you can just buy some bitcoint and then pay, not best but doable at least) is:
- shipping (if you think 42$ is much then I can tell you I would need to pay 75$ for EU)
- shipping from EU. I won't pay VAT + import tax.
With both problems above 1 acorn would cost me basically 2 acorns. With all the talk about decentralization and equal opportunities US people still have huge advantage in everything. Untill EU gets the same options as US there is no decentralization for me
The shipping is the same as if you quote fedex.com, actually thats much worse for EU. Were working on fixing this but that requires fedex fixing our rates in their API, but once it is fixed we will refund any differences.
You wont pay double VAT/Import, we do a DDP which is why youre charged VAT.
The EU has many taxes and fees for companies that do business with it - we gain nothing from all those extra charges, talk to your governments.
Theres also a lot of misinformation in this thread - so much it is hard to keep up on. I would really encourage reading the FAQ on http://www.squirrelsresearch.com
Thank you for clarification. And sorry if I was spreading misinformation. But with all the taxes, regulations etc...its hard to know what you pay in the end. I also understand you had little time to prepare. Anyway going to read the FAQ.
Don't worry we all know its not you charging us that extra costs but all the guys in between (shipping, guverments etc...).
EDIT: Just read the FAQ, you should really put all the shipping and VAT, import TAX related info in there. It will reduce the number of questions and misinformation a lot.
