More about shipping to Hong Kong

Supply chain issues in Asia mean that most stock is redirected to North American markets. If you attempt to find one in Sham Shui Po or Mong Kok, you will likely face empty shelves or a 40% markup. Choosing a freight forwarder to bridge the gap between US inventory and your Hong Kong studio is the only reliable way to get this unit at MSRP.

US Retailers versus Local Resellers

B&H versus local Hong Kong music shops represents a massive difference in availability. US retailers maintain consistent stock levels of the EP–1320 Medieval because they receive priority shipments from Sweden. When you shop US store sites, you access the primary inventory pool rather than waiting for secondary market leftovers.

The price difference is stark. Local resellers often exploit the scarcity of Teenage Engineering products. By using a tax-free US address, you can purchase the item at the standard retail price and avoid the inflated costs common in the Hong Kong secondary market.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics

Before you commit to a purchase, you should estimate shipping cost to ensure your budget is accurate. The EP–1320 is a compact device, but proper packing is essential to prevent damage during transit.

Since the device uses standard AAA batteries rather than a built-in lithium-ion pack, you will face fewer hurdles with international shipping service regulations. This makes the EP–1320 much easier to move through customs compared to other modern synthesizers. Check our FAQ for more details on restricted items if you plan to bundle other gear.

Securing Your Order with BuyForMe

A common failure point for Hong Kong buyers is the checkout process. Major US retailers frequently block international credit cards or flag orders sent to a parcel forwarding service. If your order is cancelled, you risk the item going out of stock before you can resolve the issue with your bank.

The comGateway "BuyForMe" service eliminates this risk. We use a US-based domestic payment method to purchase the EP–1320 Medieval on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order is processed immediately. Using "BuyForMe" versus attempting a manual checkout with a local card can be the difference between receiving your unit and missing the production run entirely.

Importing to Hong Kong in 2026

Hong Kong remains one of the best locations for international shipping due to its status as a free port. You typically will not pay import duties on electronic musical instruments. Your primary concern should be the international shipping rates, which are calculated based on the weight of the package.

Standard air express versus economy shipping is a choice you will make at our warehouse. Given the fragile nature of musical samplers, we recommend express options to minimize handling time. You can view current shipping fees on our rates page to plan your total investment. Ignoring these logistical steps often leads to seized packages or unexpected delays, so always use a verified package forwarding partner to manage the final mile to your door in Hong Kong.
