I almost bought one and I'd love to.

But then I've read in the Q&A about the tariffs and how that would affect the price at time of shipment.

This is too much uncertainty for me.

I've got no incentive to buy from the US right now, as a European.

I wish you the best of luck, as you definitely put a lot of love into it

Same here. Based in the EU, I was ready to buy one on day one, but when I saw the prices listed only in USD I had to stop right there. Just the shipping alone would be $25, plus the uncertainty of duty fees. I hope to see an EU store soon — with prices in EUR, low-cost shipping, and all fees already factored in.

International shipments will not be sent from the USA; they'll be shipped directly from Asia. The comment is in reference to your own countries - they may charge tariffs.

I will be visiting China later this year, any chance I can get one while I'm there via something like TaoBao to save on tax and shipping?

Thanks for clarifying! It would be helpful to mention that in the FAQ — knowing that the US has no involvement when ordering from the EU would be reassuring.
