Vorbereitungen für internationalen Versand: Lytro sucht Logistik-Experten

In den USA ist Lytro’s LichtFeld Kamera seit Ende Februar erhältlich. Für internationale Fans gibt es zwar einige Umwege, über die man trotzdem eine Lytro-Kamera aus dem Ausland bestellen kann, diese sind aber etwas komplizierter und teurer.

Auf Fragen zu internationalen Bestellungen gibt Lytro’s Kundensupport bislang nur sehr spärliche Informationen:

Q: Is there any date when you’re gonna be able to send Lytro to Europe? Just some info like Q4 2012 or Q1 2013 would be nice, I don’t need some specific date, but I really want your product! ;)

A: We are working toward expanding distribution and will share more details when we can.

Eine neue, offene Stelle bei Lytro zeigt aber, dass die Firma tatsächlich internationale Bestellungen und internationalen Versand vorbereitet:

Während ein Teil der Arbeit sich auf den Import bezieht (die Kameras werden in China produziert), ist im Aufgabenbereich auch das Thema Export und Retail (Einzehlandel) vertreten.
Wir halten euch auf alle Fälle auf dem Laufenden!
