Hello,
We don’t intend for that messaging to be unfriendly. It’s just that - the discussions about when Framework will be shipping to a country can’t lead anywhere. If Framework doesn’t, they don’t, and no one on this forum can change that. The only way to change that is to express interest using the country selector as mentioned.
The messaging is the truth. Of course Framework wants to ship to every country. But the reality is, it’s actually very expensive in terms of time and money to arrange this. They have to invest their time/money wisely so to gauge interest they use the country selector.
Framework’s in negotiations with many countries but they cannot divulge how negotiations are going and how much each country asks in terms of permits and fees. So they don’t announce until it’s certain.
In regards to having the laptop delivered to a friend or relative in a supported country, obviously Framework has no way of detecting this so it’s permitted, but for all intents and purposes that person is the owner of the laptop. It must be paid for by them and all warranty and support will be through them. If working that out is the intention of that thread, we’ll reopen it with our apologies.
