Not shipping internationally is a pretty frustrating decision. This device is almost exactly what I want, but I can't buy it because you... can't put it in a DHL box with a different country's name on it?

Congrats on the launch, but this is kind of a kick in the nuts.

Mild edit: I checked a UK address and it turns out you can put it in a DHL box with a different country's name on it, you just can't print the word Australia on the box. Nice. If this is because the device can't stand up to kangaroo rides, can I have one if I assure you that I won't take it with me when I hop to the shops?

It's not just "slap it in a DHL box", you have to register with GST etc. https://www.ato.gov.au/other-languages/information-in-other-...

Selling internationally in 2024 is a minefield.
