Save €250 on the Framework Laptop 13 DIY

Save €250 on the Framework Laptop 13 DIY by utilizing the US pricing advantage compared to European retail markups. While Framework has expanded its reach, the US store remains the gold mine for the DIY Edition. In Germany, local resellers often tack on a heavy premium, or worse, only stock pre-built configurations that include components you might already own.

By choosing the DIY Edition from the US, you can bring your own SSD and RAM, avoiding the manufacturer's markup on memory. When you use a comGateway account, you get access to a tax-free US address in Oregon. This means you do not pay US sales tax, keeping that €250 firmly in your pocket to spend on more modules or a fancy laptop sleeve.

Your step-by-step guide to US shopping

Buying from across the Atlantic might seem like a chore, but it is actually quite straightforward. First, head over to the Framework US store and customize your 13-inch beast. When you reach the checkout, simply enter your dedicated US address provided by your package forwarding service.

Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure your order is processed correctly. Once Framework ships your laptop to the warehouse, you will be notified to choose your preferred delivery speed to Germany. A reliable freight forwarder ensures that your modular dream machine is handled with care and reaches your doorstep in Berlin, Munich, or Hamburg without a scratch.

Calculated shipping estimates for Germany

Before you hit the buy button, it is wise to understand the physical profile of your shipment. This helps you use the shipping calculator more effectively to plan your budget.

Because the laptop contains a lithium battery, it must be shipped according to international safety regulations. Most premium carriers available through international shipping services are well-equipped to handle this, but it may limit you to specific express couriers like DHL or FedEx.

Dealing with German customs and VAT

When the package arrives in Germany, the Zollamt (Customs Office) will require payment of the Import Sales Tax (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer), which is typically 19%. While this is an added cost, the initial savings from the US DIY price often still make this the more economical route. Check our guide on import duties to see how these fees are calculated.
