I'm happy to answer any questions around this! We've been working on this since update since we launched the product last year, so we're excited to be able to share it today.

Please, more country availability!

I've been waiting for 12th gen Alder Lake availability and am ready to pay. However as a EU citizen from one of the Baltic states I am unable to do so.

Please, tell us that this year any EU citizen will be able to order a Framework laptop.

I could not even find which friends in which countries to ask to order Framework for me.. It used to be US then UK, and I know there are a few other ones.

Combined with a waitlist the logistics are painful.

At least I hope that signing up for the waitlist from a specific country counts as something.

Can't you use a parcel forwarding service?

Why can't Framework? It can't be a new need, and shipping stuff to Europe isn't a new concept.

Plus, given that the EU exists, why is it any more troublesome to ship to one of the EU countries than another?
