Frame.work laptop now accepting pre-orders from UK, Germany and France
frame.workUnfortunetly my credit card (visa) does not work on their side. says it got rejected. I talked with my bank and they replied that is because they did not do the 3dsecure trickery (basically second authentication token), which is mandatory in germany for creditcard since beginning of 2021.
Can someone verify that?
just verified by the frame.work 3DS is not functional yet, it will be implemented the coming weeks. So basically one can't order one from Germany (at least)
"we are aware of the issue with 3DS Secure payments and we are prioritizing a resolution and expect to have a fix in the coming weeks."
Nice. I was impatient, and used Shipito to ship my Framework laptop to their US warehouse, and from there to my home country, which is still not on the pre-order list. It cost about $120 extra but it was worth it :)
Happy to see frame.work spreading its wing to Europe. And was surprised to learn that France requires all hardware to compulsory cite a "repairability rating" - that's a great regulatory idea!
