Hi Shay,

Thanks for your exiting message!
This sounds like a possibility. We'd love to serve as many changemakers as possible with the Fairphone, but our concern is not so much the shipping (we can take care of that form here), but we have our helpdesk, service and repair in The Netherlands and we want to be able to offer good service as well. I'm not sure if we can do that for Isreal at the moment. Our plan is to expand to other markets in 2014.

Let me know if you still like to proceed taking this into account. We can always have a chat about it.

All the best!
Bas

I'd like to join the crowd-sourcing, and I'll start looking for someone to send me the phone from Europe when it's ready; Though it will be easier to encourage more people here to join the effort if there will be an Israel shipping option. I'm a co-op and open-source market+politics supporter, and I'm a member of different cooperations including an successful crowd-sourced co-op import of a megaphone container from china for the activists around the country. Will you consider shipping us if we get together enough people interested and invested?

You’ve been amazingly enthusiastic and supportive throughout this entire journey, and we want you to have the first opportunity to order this smartphone.
