Do you offer a forwarding service to help out fellow EU members (at least until Brexit )?

Non-EU imports hit, depending on cost and type of item, VAT and import taxes in the UK. If you haven't pre-paid this, you then get an added fee by the delivery company of £8+ for them to take the payment from you. It's annoying when the cost of goods in the US is the same here in pounds ($200 Vs £200), especially when the exchange rate was much better for the UK. By the time you add shipping and taxes most of the time it isn't worth it.

Should the day come when a decent Sailfish device is released, I expect it'll be when the UK is no longer part of the EU so I'll have to slap all those costs on top. Currently compiling a list of movies and music to import before then. To put some context to it, a CD from Japan that used to cost about £18 is now £30+. The fall in exchange rate means cost of good is higher, cost of shipping is higher, which takes you over the limit for avaoiding tax.

So, someone release a decent device before then. Pretty please.
