Ordering from an Overseas Ledger Site and Forwarding Home — What to Know
Overview: What should you plan for when ordering from an overseas Ledger site and forwarding the package home?
Key takeaway: Always buy from Ledger's official store or an authorised reseller, inspect the tamper-evident seals and serial number on arrival, and treat any request for your recovery phrase or PIN as a scam.
Action / decision points:
- Confirm Ledger's official site ships to your region and publishes the tax policy.
- Pay with a method that supports international transactions and keep the receipt.
- Pick a reputable courier that offers full customs clearance, and complete the shipping info accurately.
- Estimate duties and VAT up front and set aside budget for them.
- On arrival, follow the official unboxing procedure and preserve evidence.
Safety reminder: Never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone. Low prices and unknown channels are high-risk; verify authorisation and seals, and if you have any doubts, cancel the order or return the device immediately.
