Shipping isn't the problem, VAT, and (if applied) customs charges, plus carrier's
"admin charges" might be.
But those vary from country to country, and carrier to carrier.
This one ended up pretty expensive - R7800 with corrupted firmware image and faulty LAN. Gosh - #76 by bright_plastik
Lesson (at least for me) is never to use the big carriers - FedEx, DHL, TNT & UPS when importing goods from outside Europe, their admin charges are very high (esp since it's a digital transaction, not touched by any human), unless the value of the parcel itself is very low.
