FYI pine64.eu is not owned or operated by the PINE64 project. Their actual domain for their EU shop is pine64eu.com.

As far as the price difference, I understand that EU shop return/warranty policy is much more generous than their international shop. Like 2 years vs. 30 days.



> pine64eu.com

yeah sorry, that's the one I meant. The other one is just what the search engine spew out first right now when I searched for the address with the keywords pine64 eu thinking to find the shop I meant.

> 2 years vs. 30 days.

I don't know about the specific terms, but 2 years warranty looks like the EU standard, which de facto is only 6 months because while the warranty is indeed 2 years per se, the burden of proof that the product was deficient when sold flips from the seller to the buyer after 6 months.

Anyways, it boils down to the individual appreciation of whether the added de facto warranty time is worth the high price premium or not. For my purposes, it isn't.
