So it's 200 $USD for one card plus microdesktop pcb? That is manageable. Let me know where I should transfer the money and I will do that ASAP.
if you have a usb-to-uart (usual FT232 thing will do) and a soldering iron that would help.
yup, plenty of those around.
also if you can arrange pickup (e.g. DHL) that would be really helpful.
I am not sure what that entails - could you elaborate? I was assuming the card would just be shipped to my home address. I am not familiar with dhl pickup, and a quick search didn't produce anything useful.
very important: i will mark them as "sample of negligeable value" on the cards themselves and on the customs form.
good, let's see how that goes. I'm consistently having trouble with packages that go through customs; must be on some kind of watchlist.
