Aren't you a bit hard on the girl (Lynn) ? She was only trying to help.
After all I live in Denmark, and I've had items ordered and sent to me
from newegg; so has my daughter, who lives and works in Glasgow. No
offence intended, but the Internet has opened a wide new door to shopping
round the world - for better or worse.
Probably a bit harsh, but in my part of the world they don't deliver to, at
least they didn't last time I checked which was about 6 months ago. Perhaps
they changed policy in that time but it is actually cheaper to get hardware
locally than to pay the extras for currency conversion, taxes and shipping,
etc as long as you don't minding waiting a few months for volume shipping to
reach our shores. Being down on the shipping lists does have its benefits,
by the time volume shipping hits our shores, the lab rats of the USA market
have all ready pointed out the problems and we get the later and cheaper
revisions, for the most part.
I think I should have said something to the OP about being lazy and not
checking a London phonebook and googling for some hardware sites.
I am pleased to hear you and others actually got stuff shipped to Europe
from newegg. It was my impression (outdated?) that they did not want to
ship to Canada, let alone Europe.
