Borders has this to say about international shipping:

Includes shipping for all locations not served by domestic, domestic extensions, or Canadian shipping. See below for important information about customs/import duties, customer charges, and local delivery.

When using the International Shipping Chart, note the following:

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays observed by the post office, UPS, or FedEx.

If your order includes gift cards, they will be charged as books are. Please note that gift cards are only redeemable online or at U.S. Borders, Borders Express, Waldenbooks, and Brentano's retail locations.

Shipping Chart—International


Shipping Method Estimated Shipping Time* Shipping Charge Per Order Shipping Charge Per Item
International Standard** 7-21 Business Days 6.16 euros Books/Calendars + Any Other Product 6.16 euros Music/DVD/Post/Arts & Crafts/Scrapbooking Only 4.22 euros per Book/Calendar items .76 euros per Music/DVD/Post/Arts & Crafts/Scrapbooking item

I think the shipping would be 4.23 euros but check with borders to verify that.

* Total time to delivery = Sourcing, Picking, Packing (see Availability above) + Shipping Time
** Airmailed to local postal system of destination country and from there, distributed as priority mail. International tracking information is not available online.


Customs Charges (International Shipments)

We are required by law to note that the contents of international packages contain books, music, or video and to state the full value of the shipment, even if the package contains a gift.

Customs charges will be levied when the package reaches your country. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient of the order and will vary by country. Borders.com is not responsible for these charges and cannot provide estimates as to what these charges may be. You may wish to contact your local customs office for further information.

Borders.com and its shipping partners are not able to influence local delivery practices. The arrival times shown for International shipping indicate the amount of time it will take for your order to reach your recipient's local postal office. The time it takes to get your order from the local post office to your recipient's address can vary from country to country. Delivery may be delayed by customs/import duties and local postal requirements.

For customs:

The Aluratek Libra Pro starts at 7.05 euros and in order to establish customs costs you will need to know the weight and dimensions of the item: the weight is .5 lbs or .23 kilograms and the dimensions are 10.8 centermeters by 1.52 by .95 centermeters.

You should establish how much it will cost you to order the Libra Pro from Borders by. 7.05 euros + shipping costs + customs costs. The result will tell you if it pays to order a cheap ereader or buy the local readers.
