I'll get the dimensions on the 10 pack, but we have reduced the size of the \
individual  box very much. If you want to guess at shipping, figure at 10 pack will \
weigh on the order of 3 Kilo, and use the dimensions Of the Neo 1973 to figure the \
total package size.

The average of shipping a single phone from US to EU was about  80USD. By making the \
package smaller, Creating a 10 pack, I'll drop this Substantially. People can go \
check out the shipping by using The data above. 

This plan relies on one thing. People in the community coming together and ordering \
as a group.

I know
I checked it out a couple of months ago, it will cost (from memory) about 500 NOK \
(81,98USD or 51,32€) per phone. But the fee is mainly going after weight.

It are not cheap to live in Norway xD, or what flexd?
