ELV shipping to United Kingdom

[wutr]

Earlier this year I bought a bunch of HomeMaticIP heating stuff and now I'm looking to buy a CCU3 or equivalent to get it to work properly.

I got most of the devices from ELV, but they don't seem to offer shipping to the UK anymore. Has anyone else experienced this?

Is there another way I can get the items they make in the UK? I'm thinking specifically ELV Charly or at least RPI-RF-MOD, but if they don't offer UK shipping any longer I might not want to use HomeMatic anymore as I don't think there are many suppliers that offer the custom items ELV does!

Hello!

From time to time I use the service of www.logoix.com They offer a "real" German shipping address and forward your parcels to... well, at least Austria. I'd just ask if they forward to the UK, too.

I'm sure, there are other similar companies, too.

Just checked on Amazon.co.uk and found a variety of HMIP devices, including a CCU3.

When searching for RPI-RF-MOD it spit out this German store offering shipping to the UK

Let's wait and see what will happen to the availability of HM(IP) in the UK after no-deal Brexit in January ...

If Amazon.de ships for moderate shipping costs to UK than I would probably buy there because they have good prices for Homematic IP.

Also check idealo.de or geizhals.eu

That's an option, thanks. It does seem convoluted but might be the most economic way to do it when ordering larger quantities.

Yes they are available but at a big premium. The RPI-RF-MOD is three times the price of ELV's offer!
Post-Brexit will be a world of locked in Hive stuff I guess, yay.

Good old Amazon.de

I also found PioTek.de who seem to offer some of the ELV kits and offer UK shipping for the same price ELV used to do (10,95).
Edit: I forgot I ordered half my items from getgoods.com They seem to offer almost 200 Homematic devices / kits. Don't know if they're still good value but worth a look for anyone interested.

Thanks everyone for your input, I don't know if I made the right choice or not going with HMiP considering the availability here. I thought it was technically superior to all the other stuff but to be honest I don't know if that's the case.

HmIP yes Good Choice to my opinion.

Here's the answer from ELV:

We are sorry to inform that we cannot process your order due to the fact that the legal delivery conditions have changed. For a delivery to your country, various - including legal requirements must be met and complied with.
This relates for example to challenges with regard to the disposal of packaging, the disposal of electronic devices or the disposal of batteries.

Since we cannot guarantee this in full at the moment, we are unable to deliver to your country.

Well, I should say that's the beauty of taking back control ...

I guess amazon.de is still shipping to UK - maybe also reichelt.de
