Thanks for the tip about "shipitto".

I thought you had to send passport copies and all sorts of other documentation to use these American sites? That was the case a few years ago so I got put off. (after all, Al-qaeda might want to use an ebook reader for their evil plots.... ts!)

Another time the thing I ordered got stuck in customs for WEEKS and I ended up with a price that was far from what I had expected. Another bad experience.

Sad that it should be this way and I bet it has it's problems to order in the other direction too.

Anyway there seems to be very little consensus on this!

Hans had a good experience and penartur paid an insane ripoff price for shipping to Russia.

There also seems to be a difference between the American and European models and I have not yet understood what it is.
