Can't ship an ereader to Italy?!

Today at the post office, I pass the parcel to Italy with a brand new Mini with a supercute cover for my niece's birthday - well, no, can't ship to Italy, the Italian rules prevent the mailing of any device with rechargeable batteries in. Of course this does not prevent any of the Italian retailers to ship their e-readers, but there you go.
So two options now: either I pretend there is something else, i.e. lie but still insure the value of the shipping, or wait until next time I go over. The thing about the first option, morality aside, is that if anything were to go wrong (which with the Italian postal service is more than very possible) I'd be stumped with nothing to redress, as I should not have sent the reader by mail in the first place.
Has anybody got any ideas/suggestions?
