Take a look at what Amazon.com said when I tried to get hold of Mindstorms 2.0
to be shipped to my coutry:
"
Geographical Shipping Restrictions
Due to warranty issues and manufacturer restrictions, we are not able to ship
all products to all geographical locations. Below are some general guidelines.
Please also check the product information pages for any other applicable
item-specific shipping restrictions.
Toys, games, and video games can be shipped only to locations within the U.S.,
U.S. protectorates, and APO/FPO addresses.
All electronics may be shipped within the U.S. Some may also be shipped to U.S.
protectorates and APO/FPO addresses. You will be notified while placing your
order if we are unable to ship specific electronics to the address you have
selected.
Apparel, Camera and photo items, cell phones and service, computers, hardware,
housewares, jewelry, kitchen items, magazines, outdoor living items, software
(including games), and tools can be shipped only to locations within the U.S.
and cannot currently be shipped to APO/FPO addresses or Puerto Rico.
Shipping to Prisons
Amazon.com delivers to penitentiaries, but we strongly suggest that you contact
the prison first, to confirm that they accept deliveries and to understand any
special regulations the prison might have. Some prisons do not allow delivery of
hardcover books. Others place a limit on the number of items contained in a
package.
We are unable to affix any special labels or instructions to the packages and on
the outside will indicate only the destination address, our company name, and
our return address. We also cannot allow gifts to be sent anonymously to
inmates; the sender's billing address will appear on the order invoice.
Because inmates cannot sign for deliveries, packages must be sent via U.S. Mail.
While Amazon.com often sends packages via U.S. Mail, we also use UPS, FedEx, and
Airborne Express for packages sent via standard shipping. Unfortunately, there
is no way for customers to request a specific shipper. To avoid delivery
problems, you might consider having the items shipped to you and then shipping
them to the penitentiary via U.S. Mail.
"
I hope that this answers your question...
