Purchasing Ledger hard drive wallet

[promotz]

Hey Guys,

 

Just wondering if anyone has had any recent experience with purchasing a Ledger nano form the manufacturer from Thailand? Did they get through without any problems?

 

Given Thailand's stance on trying to regulate the industry

 

Cheers.

I bought one about 2 months ago.

No problems at all.

Buy from Ledger direct (Germany).

Bought a couple a few years back, from the manufacturer (be careful with ordering from alternative place) while in Thailand. Not a problem at all.

Available at pretty well all internet resellers.  Have the Nano S.  No issues - but suggest you use an official reseller (have heard of issues with grey goods).

Siam BC. Registered distributer. Don't buy from Lazada

Thanks for the information guys. I am going to purchase from the official Ledger website.

 

I just wanted to know if there would be a problem getting through customs.

 

Thanks again.

Last month I purchased the Ledger Nano X and S through Amazon. Everything went smooth with no issues at all. Received the products in three weeks after order.

Got the Ledger Nano X from the manufacturer in September.

If you haven't bought one yet, I have a brand new Ledger Nano. Never used, not even opened.

Beginners question, why is a solid state device preferable to a software wallet?

The answer is: it depends.  ????   I wouldn't say it's preferable but that's just me.   My issue with having a Ledger or Trezor, etc. (despite the air tight tech protecting your crypto) in my possession is that it announces to anyone who sees it:  this guy has crypto.   If you're going to lock it away in a safety deposit box in a far off place, then yes, it's probably better than using an old phone with non custodial software wallet apps (which is probably better for your daily carry, going through customs, going to your tax audit, etc....then you're just a dude with a second outdated cell phone).
