Isn't that an European based branch? That will still result in Euro shipping charges.

The Dutch site of the insolvent 3D printing service provider Shapeways is experiencing a rebirth. Under the name Manuevo, former employees and two co-founders have acquired the assets from the insolvency estate and are planning to restart operations in Eindhoven.

The restart of the European production capacities in the Netherlands is planned for August 5. Customers from the USA, the UK and the EU will receive their orders without additional import fees. Manuevo currently accepts orders by email, but is planning to reintroduce the API connection for existing customers and is working on reactivating the self-service option.

It is indeed in Europe Bill. Will have to see what shipping charges are like. I've ordered from Europe before and shipping was less than from the US to Canada.

I have a vague memory in the early days of shapeways the boxes coming from Europe (I think the Netherlands) and shipping was not horrible.
