content: Hi Dave,it's nice to see, that your EEVBlog BM235 is available on amazon in Germany, so the "german customs issue" should not not any longer be your concern.BUT:The autotranslated description on amazon.de is really bad. Just like it was written by Mr. Wun-Hung-Lo himself. I hope, you can edit the text, here is a short description I wrote, you can use, if you'd like to:QuoteOf course everybody is invited to correct or to extend this description.By the way, I would not mention, that there is no printed user's manual included, this may cause legal troubles in Germany.And I also have a question: Will the accessories also be availabe on amazon(.de)? I would be happy...Greetings from Germany!

content: Thanks, but I don't even know how to change the German description. It was auto-generated, and as far as Amazon are concern I have one listing on the UK site.

content: Quote from: Barny on February 02, 2017, 10:11:22 amHi!To avaid this you can useLogoiX. This is a (small?) company that helps you out with this special problem. They are located in Freilassing (Germany) only 3km away from Salzburg (Austria). So you get a German postage adress (their adress) for shipping of the multimeter. In this adress there is a line likec/o abcxyz LogoiX, where abcxyz is your customer number.If you like, you can pick it up in Freilassing (you'll get a notification when it has arrived) or they will forward it to your Austrian adress for a few Euros (starting at 4,95€), depending on the weight.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on February 22, 2017, 02:13:05 amYeah, I know.It's weird though, there is a lot of other stuff that I can get from Amazon.deSo I wonder why there are restrictions on this item?

content: Quote from: b_force on February 22, 2017, 02:14:34 amAre they actually stocked and shipped by Amazon?If so I have no idea. I have enabled Amazon's EU wide distribution and it only gives me those countries.Could be product category specific, as for example you cannot buy electronic products from Amazon and ship them to Australia, but other products you can.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on February 22, 2017, 02:17:54 amI don't know, they say there are only "17 in stock", so that suggests they do keep some stock.Bit annoying, by change I am just two farts away from the border at this moment.I'll figure out somethingAmazon is sometimes pretty weird in these things.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on February 22, 2017, 02:17:54 amI can get things that are "fullfilled by Amazon" shipped to Sweden from other sellers (one example I found on amazon.co.uk and .de after a quick search.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wiysond-Str%C3%B6mungsmeter-ber%C3%BChrungsfrei-Wechselstrom-Spannung-Datenspeicherung/dp/B01DIKT7V6/ref=sr_1_42?ie=UTF8&qid=1487751474&sr=8-42&keywords=multimeter)./stefan

content: This UniT UT139C is also "Versand durch Amazon" (shipped by Amazon), and it can be shipped to The Netherlands:https://www.amazon.de/UNI-T-Digitale-Multimeter-Digitales-Universalmessger%C3%A4t/dp/B00XMSUW9Q/ref=pd_sbs_60_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3JVAD2DEAKZT296P4H28Yet the eevblog meter, for some reason, does not ship here. I'm assuming the seller can select which countries to ship to, one way or another.

content: Is there any major difference between the regular Brymen BM235 (in red) and the EEVBlog variation?The regular one is much easier to order, and also a bit cheaper;http://www.tme.eu/en/details/bm235/portable-digital-multimeters/brymen/I can't find any differences in the datasheets/manuals.Well, the AC voltage specs are a tiny bit different, but that's just a matter of definition.

content: Quote from: b_force on February 26, 2017, 12:51:55 amNot functionally.As for shipping outside of Germany (or any other country with an Amazon store), it's absolutely possible in at leastsomecases, as I've bought plenty of products from third-party sellers that were stocked/shipped by Amazon. I'm also fairly certain that shipping follows the same rules as stuff sold directly by Amazon, so anything smaller/lighter than a UPS can be shipped outside of the country in question.

content: Quote from: b_force on February 26, 2017, 12:51:55 amMine has the LCD fix which I'm lead to believe they didn't roll into their regular products as they didn't consider it a problem.Don't know about the singing capacitor backlight fix.Presumably firmware fixes have made it, but beware old stock, mine sell too quickly to have old stock lying around.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on March 01, 2017, 10:04:44 pmI received one from Amazon (US) today that was still revision E. I think I can live with the issue that Revision F fixes, so its not a huge issue but I was expecting it to be an "F" by now...or maybe that stock has not reached Amazon yet.
