Maybe switching to a non express shipping would help reducing the price (for those who can wait a little bit more than the express one) before Framework comes with a better solution in the future ?
Anyway thank you for the feedback 
There isnât a viable option and after looking into potential available alternatives, it did not make a meaningful difference in pricing. This is a priority that weâre working on behind the scenes, but we canât and wonât communicate status until we are confident in a greenlight and realistic timelines.

You donât have to use Amazon, there are other fulfillment providers like Monta for example. If I were Framework, I would use this for a smaller test market like maybe Danmark and see how it goes.

A data point from me:
- currently shipping costs for a 61Wh battery would be âŹ12 (to Germany), which seem quite reasonable to me. (it just says âstandard shippingâ, so perhaps they set up their Europe hub after all)
An opinion from me:
- I just now noticed that my laptop is being shipped by plane, and also via a quite complex route, from Taiwan to China, then India, then Dubai, France, âŚ
I would have liked to have been given the option to select shipping by boat, given that itâs over 10% of the carbon footprint of the laptop. I hope this becomes available soon, esp for the more heavy items.

Yes, this is the case. It was set up in early October, although the announcement was buried in a blog post about the AMD machines.
