Local Bytes

Change can be scary and exciting, but quite often, it's necessary. We're restructuring our operations over the next few weeks, so don't be alarmed if you see something you weren't quite expecting! Strap in... it's gonna be a wild one - blog.mylocalbytes.com/posts/2024-08-…

It's that time of the year, again - blog.mylocalbytes.com/posts/2026-01-… Admittedly, this was a difficult one to write, as it feels like LocalBytes didn't really "do anything" in 2025. But, I'm hopeful we've laid out good foundations for the year ahead! Thanks for supporting us, AA

It's been a while, but the Local Deck will be back soon! mylocalbytes.com/products/local… We've spent some much-needed time on behind-the-scenes fixes to increase stability and reliability, so you can be more confident it'll "just work"!

@Parad0x22 Thanks for that. I'll have a look now. :)

@LocalBytesShop Emailed you this morning should be there with order number I did think it was taking long but wasn’t in a rush lol

@LocalBytesShop hi I made an order it appears Royal Mail have delivered it to the wrong address can you rectify this as I have not received a product

As usual, we’ve released our year in review, looking at what we’ve been doing and what’s next! Read more: blog.mylocalbytes.com/posts/2025-01-… Discuss: forum.mylocalbytes.com/d/144-happy-ne…

And that's a wrap on 2024... See you all in January!

Not long before our end-of-year break! Order now before it's too late...

Are you curious as to how we made the LocalDeck? You can now take a peak behind the curtain as we've just made the CAD repository publically accessible! github.com/LocalBytes/loc…

We already display the DE VAT number on the parcel's label and in the extended customs descriptions we submit. We're struggling to understand what more we can do to prevent additional VAT charges! We'll continue doing our best to ensure nobody foots the bill twice! AA

Unfortunately, the German Tax office has rejected our various IOSS applications because we no longer have a physical presence in Germany. Since we don't have an IOSS number, customs sometimes charge us for our parcels despite a valid full VAT registration.

A quick note on Taxes! We know that a few of our EU customers have been hit with various import charges since going in-house. This is far from ideal, and we are pushing to resolve this!

And we are back 😎

Local Bytes Smart Plugs are so smart, they have the ability to grow legs and walk off it seems... Sorry for the delays everyone!

I'm on holiday! All orders will be held until Friday, the 4th of October. Support will be active as usual! See you on the other side, AA

@BeardedTinker Don't be afraid to hit us up! You know where to find us 😎

@LocalBytesShop This was a secret mission 😉 But we're trying to organise something in London, probably next year.

🎙️Thanks to my secret mission in London and unnamed operative there, code-name Alpha, we have today's video - @LocalBytesShop LocalDeck youtu.be/XfDUo7IXhGM

Hearing the LocalDeck being discussed on @LinuxUnplugged #579 was a pleasant surprise. @ChrisLAS, how's it working out for you?

Grab yours today! mylocalbytes.com/products/smart…

Looks like the EU plugs are back in stock then!
