Sounds to me like your best choice would be to take your files to a local printer and have the work done locally.

The only advantage of Createspace to you would be having your book available through Amazon, but it's non-exclusive. You can still have your book there and print local copies.
If you printed them locally, how difficult would it be to get them listed on Amazon? Presumably they would want a massive discount, but you would be able to send them to your local Amazon rather than America?
