@Noncomformist123 Sorry, we only operate here.

@nord Oh! I have read through the requirements, unfortunately I didn't fall under the category. I'm a tech enthusiast, learning Python, Linux and Open source tools. I'm a Law graduate here in Nigeria, Africa. So, if there any other way you could help, I would be happy. Thank you so much.

@Noncomformist123 @nord pretty shure the shipping costs alone make it unfeasible.

@kkarhan @nord Please, could you make an enquiry to know how much is the shipping? Please, my tech learning is wanting because of lack of laptop. Be of a help. Please. 🙏🙏

@Noncomformist123 AFAICT it's in the ballpark of > €100 due to import taxes and fees.

Obviously @nord as a local nonprofit can't do that. They barely manage to stay afloat and rely on donations (like said hardware).

  • It's just not in the cards.

I'm sorry.

@Noncomformist123 I just think it's really unlikely due to the high shipping costs which they can't handle.

Maybe you'll find some local refurbisher who offers rock bottom hardware pricing?

Given that there' most likely quite a market demand I'm shure there are ample of those.

I'm just not fluent in any local dialect to find one quickly nor do I know where exactly you live (and honestly it's none of my business either!) but I'm convinced that ib the big cities like Lagos you'll find ample of low budget options.

Wishing you only the best!

@kkarhan Thanks man. It's honour chatting with you.
Show threadLearned FarmerMay 28
@kkarhan wait. Do you mean I should do the shipping myself?
Show threadKevin Karhan May 28

@Noncomformist123 I'd just say that it's unfeasible to ship a laptop to you unless you want to have to deal with the risk of prohibitively expensive tarriffs at customs on your end.

  • That's something neither them nor anyone else can work around.

And basically any refurbisher I know doesn't ship outside the EU / EFTA for that reason.

  • I'm sorry but realistically speaking you'd be better off lookibg for local options instead.

@kkarhan okay, thanks man.
