I spoke on the telephone to Euro S@H (they're all British there, I think, so I believe the entire system is unified) today, and they think it has to do with a warehouse inventory in Billund. Thus it's not worth it to them to handle the hassle of US addresses and overseas shipping. They had enough trouble just handling a US charge card's reconciliation information today and yesterday. The typical response in the AFOL community is to find a willing proxy in the market concerned and have it shipped to them--not impossible, but not easy, because this sort of request can be a hassle unless the parties know each other quite well. best LFB
