Looks like a cool platform, but you won't be paying $1600 USD https://shop.unitree.com/en-gb/products/unitree-go2?variant=... :

> $1,600.00 USD

> Shipping costs $399 per unit, Remote Countries $500-$1000

> Not include customs duties, Please comply with local customs laws pay customs duties and clear the goods

By the time you are done, you will be paying between $2000 and $3500 for the base model. It might still represent good value, but it's still more than it is advertised.

Do they send it by pack mule or something?

To be fair, I have seen with some of these robotics platforms they send them by air in a pelican case [1] with custom cut foam inserts. The price for shipping racks up quickly.
