alt Hacker NewsI wonder if they can set it up so that orders for the freer world never touches the grabby hands of the (economic-)molester: produce the parts in China, if the buyer is outside of the US, ship directly to them..
Whereas for US orders, maybe offer a delivery to hotels in case the buyer is having a trip outside of the country? (Presumably it's not a sustainable idea, there'd be just a handful of people wanting to buy this product who'd happen to be travelling out of the country soonish)
Problem is if the maker is in the US, it's going to be hard to pull that off. You'd need an external company to manage everything. Bulk ordering the parts, resin printing the case, making the PCBs, and boxing it all in a kit.
