I should also add that even within the US, those shipments come daily as well, and again, there is no special packaging whatsoever and they're also shipped by plane.

It seems it's a rule that only hurts the individual.
thanks Ripplinger, we crossed messages (I edited my previous one) - it looks like you can put the device in checked baggage. The thing is all wrapped up already, as the lady at the Royal Mail counter had accepted it and I was about to pay, when a clever girl from another counter said she could not do that.. damn the clever and competent girl for once
