Saw this today and wanted to get the 16GB version only to get the "Shipper doesn't ship to your destination" Any way to work around that? On Aug 28, 2013 11:56 PM, "Joseph Tintale" <jayxtintale@gmail.com> wrote:

I am wondering the viability of a service where you can get travellers to carry electronics in their hand luggage hence avoid the whole tax thing. there must be alot of travellers between the US and here weekly. If the mark-up could be like 50 dollars a device then it could be worthwhile for travellers maybe? On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 10:37 AM, Alex Ngatia <alex.ngatia@gmail.com> wrote:

@Mark, that already exists. And it's called smuggling :) Why is it that google Kenya doesn't, despite having one of the biggest offices in Africa here in Kenya, facilitate the availability of their devices locally? I have been looking at the new Nexus 7 and would have liked to own it. But we are yet to become a 'true target market' to get their attention.

So talked to Salihiya <http://africansalihiya.com> and they say they charge a minimum 25kg at $10 per kg for shipping. So if we can get a bunch of guys who want devices and order through Salihiya we can split the shipping cost, the more the better. Any takers?

@Alex, cool idea. Have you ever shipped anything before with Salihiya<http://africansalihiya.com/>? How reliable are they and how long does it take them to get stuff here? I have already ordered mine (through a friend in the US) and I normally ship with USPS. Usually it takes not more than 7 days to get it delivered. Once your device arrives, a guy at the post office will call and ask you to arm your self with IDF. They say it's 5k, but if you are a hard bargainer like me, they will accept something between 2,500 and 3k. If you add up the costs for the 16GB ($249 + US tax approx. $23 + shipping cost $33 + say 3k IDF) you'll spend something in the neighbourhood of 29k, which in my opinion isn't a bad bargain for an awesome device like N4, right? More shipping ideas welcome. On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 5:16 PM, Alex Ngatia <alex.ngatia@gmail.com> wrote:

-- Sent from my Voice Recognition Watch© -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
