The Sinclair QL Forum

who is selling the ql vdrive in Europe ??

i don't want to take the risk to get one from newzealand directly ( our customs are quite greedy ).

any ideas ??

Hi

https://www.etsy.com/shop/vRetroDesign

i prefer not to "import " this device from new zealand

my country always gives me a huge "bonus" when something comes in from outside eu.

Hi techy,
Perhaps I am wrong, but I think that Chris already gave you an EU Site where to purchase this device you asked for.

In case that is not, perhaps you could get an alternative device (depending on for what you need it).

Edit: I was wrong, you are right. From NZ.

Hi

Sorry for that, at the homepage it said
If you’re in the EU then please visit : https://www.etsy.com/shop/vRetroDesign

SellMyRetro sell them as well (I think) but you will most likely have to pay custom fees

both are new zealand .

I was hoping some eu seller would stock them too .

I don't believe Etsy is a New Zealand company but rather an E-Commerce company (its headquarters are in New York City). Some items on vRetro's Etsy site won't ship to the US and you have to go to vRetro (in New Zealand) itself to order the item. I don't know how an international E-Commerce site impacts customs. If the issue is where it is being shipped from, then likely any E-Commerce site that acts as a middle-man won't be helpful, since neither Etsy nor SellMyRetro (or Tindie) stock all (or any) of their items, and instead just connect you to a seller.

Make a look to this...

If you don't find vDrive, perhaps that could helps you.

Also there is oqtadrive, another nice device and affordable.

The correct fee is paid and paperwork is prepared by etsy so stuff just passes through unhindered!

That's great and should solve techy's problem. I highly recommend vDrive. It's one of my favorite extensions to the QL!
