Once HackerBoxes.com goes to standard subscriptions (post-Kickstarter) there will be international shipping options. It is a high priority so your point is very well taken!

If you message your email to us (through the Kickstarter page or otherwise), we would be happy to keep you posted. Thanks!
Thank you for your support! I have taught circuits, electronics, and programming at the college level before, so I am excited about the educational impact of our offering. Please keep in touch with your thoughts. We want to hear feedback on our boxes from all subscribers, but definitely the HackerNews crowd!

This is a very cool idea. We have a project along a similar vein at HackerBoxes. Tron looks like great basic circuit education/exposure, while we're doing things more on a project level. These could even be complimentary, so some may want to subscribe to both.

Either way, please keep in touch with us over here at HackerBoxes. In order to gauge what users find more or less interesting, we definitely want to hear feedback on our boxes from all subscribers, certainly the HackerNews crowd!
