There are still 5 Cumana Reborn for sale.
Sadly, it won't let me order as no shipping to the UK.

Oh, still those stupid restrictions...

The best way is to ask if somebody could receive the parcel for you in another country and then send it to you.

(I could do it, but I think Japan is not the best option. Some folks living in Europe would be better).

Of course, it would cost you a bit more but it is better than nothing.

I also guess that these remaining 5 units are the last batch, and that there will be no more once everything sold.

I had a pal in France buy a Cumana interface for me and post it. Just be aware, It took a while to get here as it was quite slow getting from Poland to France. It was almost like it was made to order. It only took a few days to arrive from France when my friend posted it. It was nice to be able to use Sedoric again.
So that would be your best bet.

Oric friends - can someone do me a favour?

Obviously happy to pay for the item, is there anyone who I could ship the item to, and then on to me?

Really want one of these items.

Thanks
Steve

I'm in France but not really able to help there, because I regulary got stolen parcels.
So much that I only order online things that can be devilered in a shop or at the post office, instead of my home. And if I can't, I send the parcels in another town at my parents', which I don't see much anymore because of covid.

So I can still be an option if no-one is able/willing to help, but:
- sending the item at my home, there is a risk and I wouldn't like someone might think I kept the product for myself
- sending at my parents would mean several months before I can get the parcel
(and then finding time to forward it, too :lol: )

Any other non-UK resident without Post problems able to help?

Specifically people in the Euro Zone, else when receiving a package from Poland we have to pay the MVA.

Well, I do not have to pay any tax here in Japan for parcels coming from abroad.

But I guess stainlessstephen will have to pay VAT if he receives a parcel from me.

:(

Actually I have zero idea how things work sending a parcel from Europe to UK since brexit. There are probably administrative annoyances and taxes too, and that may be why sellers quit sending to UK.
I'd have to check that.
