Can anyone provide examples on how to use this? The FAQ and Blog have a ton of info on what it is and how to get it, but I don't see anything on why.

Just wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out how to order. It kept saying no shipping rates found for my address. Turns out they aren't allowing US orders at the moment but they don't actually say that on the website you just get a cryptic shipping rates message. Not the greatest experience.

Is there any way to get notified when they are in stock for US shipment?

I just emailed support asking about this, will post here the response when I get it.

Update: Flipper says they'll be back in stock for US, Canada, and Australia in September but did not provide a mechanism for getting alerted when this happens.
