[RIPE Atlas Ambassadors] How to avoid double shipping?

Hi Ondřej


I think you are right that it just depends on various parts. I come from
India and shipping cost for me from my city to anywhere in India is at max
$3. I am sure RIPE would have to pay way more than that besides the risk of
getting the sent probe trapped in customs.
Also, we have very few events belonging to IP community (as opposed to
Europe). Thus shipping probes are way more effective way out on this side
of the world (and maybe not in CZ).



Thanks.
