Buy It For Me

While demand in Taiwan is high among synth enthusiasts, local stock is frequently sold out or marked up significantly. This scarcity has led savvy buyers to look toward the North American market, where inventory levels are generally more stable.

Finding reliable stock at US retailers

Major US retailers like B&H Photo Video and Sweetwater are the primary sources for this gear. These stores often receive larger allocations of Teenage Engineering products than smaller distributors in East Asia. By choosing to shop US store options directly, you can often bypass the long pre-order wait times found in Taipei or Kaohsiung.

Using a freight forwarder for Taiwan shipping

Most US music retailers do not offer direct international shipping to Taiwan, or if they do, the costs are prohibitive. The most efficient method is to use comGateway, a professional freight forwarder that provides you with a tax-free US address. This allows you to receive your EP–1320 at a domestic warehouse first, avoiding US sales tax and lowering your total acquisition cost.

To understand the logistics flow, you can view our how it works page for a step-by-step guide on setting up your account and managing your incoming packages.

Estimating your shipping costs

Shipping a compact sampler like the EP–1320 is relatively affordable due to its lightweight design. You can use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you commit to the purchase. Reviewing the international shipping rates ensures there are no surprises when the package is ready to leave the US for Taiwan.

Overcoming international payment blocks with BuyForMe

A common frustration for shoppers in Taiwan is the "payment decline" issue. Many major US retailers—including giants like Nike, Sephora, and Apple—frequently block international credit cards or decline orders associated with known shipping hubs. If B&H or Sweetwater flags your Taiwan-issued Visa or Mastercard, your order for the EP–1320 Medieval could be cancelled instantly.

The solution to this problem is the comGateway "BuyForMe" (Assisted Purchase) service. With this service, you simply tell us what you want to buy, and we use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on your behalf. This effectively eliminates the risk of regional payment blocks and ensures that your order is processed successfully by the retailer. Using a US card is the safest way to guarantee your collector's item doesn't get stuck in a cancellation loop.

Managing Taiwan import duties and customs

When the EP–1320 Medieval arrives in Taiwan, it will be subject to local regulations. Generally, items valued over TWD 2,000 are subject to import duties and customs tax. Since this sampler typically retails around USD 299, you should prepare for these fees.

Ensure your EZ WAY app registration is up to date, as Taiwan customs requires real-name authentication for all incoming international shipping. Being proactive with your import tax documentation will prevent your new medieval sampler from being delayed at the border.
