Appreciate if US folks can shed some light as I may need to engage external help to procure a unit, thus need to have a better grasp on the costs involved
Hi there, I live in Thailand and ordered the Aura about 3 weeks ago. Back then those pages you asked about were still working fine, now I'm also getting the same 404 error. Anyway I had it shipped to a US package forwarder called shipito.com and from there with FedEx to Bangkok. Shipito can also assist you with the purchase but it gets really expensive once you add up all these fees and shipping costs. Probably best to find a way to place the order yourself and just use them to get it to Singapore.

I also had to pay the sales tax for shipping the item to a CA address (it's charged at purchase time). For some reason Kobo didn't accept the OR address of the package forwarder.

How's the haze situation btw? Hopefully it'll clear soon. Cheers.
