I found a monitor I’ve been looking all over for on [techbuy.com.au](https://techbuy.com.au/) and it seems legit. They say they ship internationally and while it’s pricier than I was planning for ( 505,67€ with shipping if I did my math right), it seems to be the only place where the monitor is available to be shipped to Finland.

The only thing I’m nervous about is some bad reviews and that they don’t allow Klarna but I’m rather desperate at this point.

  1. If you’re ordering from Australia, don’t. You’ll be charged additional VAT so it’ll be even more expensive… If you’re looking for a specific monitor based on some serial number from a review it might be a monitor only made for a specific region. There are probably alternatives made for the European market that will be more affordable

  2. Really sorry, OP – it _does_ look like it’s regional at the moment –

    Maybe email their sales team and ask? Also, you may be able to pay via PayPal? Would that give you an amount of safety on your purchase?

  3. You’ll pay VAT and custom fees if you order outside EU, so it will be pricier.

    And if you need to return it, you’ll pay that too.
