This way we were circumvent any and all customs and shipping issues that we would face in the case we shipped form the United States. This way we would additionally support the local ecenomy, which would essentially kill two birds with one stone. It gets better, we got free delivery from Yerevan to Sevan expidted.

After discussing different shipping alternatives, we have decided to go with Haypost to ship the Chromebooks. In order to avoid unnecessary customs fees and to do our duty to you as our clients we will be delivered to one of our partner organizations in Yeghegnadzor from where it will be delivered to the school. Since they are an NGO we will save on unnecessary customs fees. If prior to us making any purchases we encounter any better alternative, we will make an update promptly.
