I've noticed that German customs (Zott) have been returning some of my orders citing an EU regulation requiring e-commerce platforms to have a European presence. They are doing this to protect "European consumers from hazardous products", but really it amounts to protecting big business.

My estimate is that about 10% of orders to Germany have been returned in the past 3 months.

If you really want the product and are willing to cover the shipping expense (about $15 USD) if the item does not make it through customs, then l'm willing to accept your order.

Just to be clear, the eDRUMin 4 costs 159 USD. If the order got returned to me, I would refund you 144 USD.

Hi guys,

really!?

There tons of chinese cheap trashy crap shipped around the world and the eDRUMin should be a hazardous product.
Man!

This is the website:

I would try to get someone of the German customs on the phone or email.
Otherwise ... I have some contacts in Switzerland, if that helps, I don't know...

I'm also from Germany:

Ordered an edrumin4 back in November 2023 which unfortunately didn't make it through customs. It was returned and rob immediately made a refund. (thanks again!)

However I'm very happy to say that I received my edrumin10 just today! Ordered it back on 26th of august so shipping took just a bit over 3 weeks. Customs fee which I had to pay at delivery was 74,24€.

Really happy to finally call one of these awesome devices my own!

Hope that helps my German edrumin-friends!

I am curious, how many eDRUMins we have in Germany ...
I have four of theses fantastic devices - 4+4+10+8. The eDRUMin8 still got 6 free inputs. I have to collect more pads.
I don't know it any more, but I guess, I bought the 2nd eDRUMin4 right before the eDRUMin10 was released.
