What if the box was occassionally "hand carried" to Europe by one of the
LUGNET faithful that is going across.  It could be "delivered" to a primary
contact who would then pick up the responsibility to The return trip could
be handled the same way.  There seems to be a few people going back and
forth so given a little notice this might save a few bucks.  Once the box is
in Europe, is shipping between European countries expensive as well?
