Ordering and shipping from USA to Belize

Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:58 pm

Amazon is suddenly claiming (falsely, according to my information) that it is prevented by the US government from shipping what it describes as 'electronic consumer items' such as the Anker Astro3 power unit I need to power my soon-arriving RaspiB512, and USB hub, and act as back-up in power outages, here in Belize. Can anyone throw light on this or PM me with a work-around, please?

Not that it prevents the Raspi from being made available in China, for instance, and even manufactured there.

The Raspberry Pi availability has nothing to do with the US government...

Do you have a friend in the US who can post the item(s) to you?

As Belize was formerly British Honduras it may be worth trying the UK we had no issues getting stuff when I was there with the RAF. ;)

Hey no big ting man. :D

If you find a solution please post it in the wiki the forum dies too quick

UK not working either, nor is Belize still on the TRBL facility, things are getting worse, I'm afraid.
