Save $151 by ordering the EP–1320 medieval from US stores while Hong Kong stock stays empty
US retail stock availability for April 2026
The Teenage Engineering EP–1320 medieval has become one of the most difficult instruments to find in Asia. While shops in Japan and Hong Kong remain sold out, major US retailers have just received a fresh restock for the April 2026 window. You can purchase the unit at the standard $299 MSRP right now. Check the latest us trends to see which retailers currently have units ready for immediate dispatch to your tax-free us address.
How to order from the US to Hong Kong
Most US retailers do not ship niche electronic instruments directly to Hong Kong, or they charge exorbitant international rates. The most efficient method is to use a freight forwarder. This allows you to shop at US stores as if you were a local resident. Simply provide the US address provided by comGateway at checkout. If a store refuses your local credit card, the proxy shopping service can handle the purchase on your behalf to ensure you don't miss the stock window.
Shipping breakdown and box dimensions
To plan your budget, you need to know exactly what the package looks like. The EP–1320 medieval is a lightweight device, making it affordable to ship internationally. You can use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote based on these estimates:
| Metric | Estimation |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg) including retail packaging |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 11 x 9 x 3 inches) |
| Volumetric Weight | Low impact; the box is compact and not bulky |
Volumetric Warning: Because this item is small and dense, you will likely be charged based on actual weight rather than size. If you add large items like posters or apparel to your order, check if they increase the box size significantly, as that could trigger higher volumetric rates.
Battery and customs rules for electronic gear
The EP–1320 medieval typically runs on 4x AAA batteries. Unlike gear with built-in rechargeable lithium-ion packs, this unit is much easier to ship. Most US retailers ship the unit without batteries included. This means you do not have to worry about the strict PI966 or PI967 lithium battery regulations that often delay electronics shipping. Hong Kong remains a free port, so you will generally pay 0% import tax on this instrument, keeping your total costs low. For more specific questions on restricted items, visit the FAQ section.
Calculating your total savings
Buying from the US at $299 (approx. $2,330 HKD) plus roughly $30 USD for shipping brings your total to about $2,560 HKD. Local resellers in Hong Kong are currently asking for $3,800 HKD for the same unit. By using a parcel forwarding service, you save exactly $1,240 HKD. This price difference covers the cost of several other accessories or even another pocket operator. This direct approach ensures you get the gear you want without the artificial local price hikes of 2026.
