Hi there over the pond.

I'd like to order a central from overstock.com, but it shows me this price for sending it to germany...



I'd be glad, if someone would order for me and send it via USPS or the cheapest option, shipping time doesn't matter. I think, if you sign it as a gift, i'd have to pay no taxes at all. It only has to be clear, that it is sent by a private person.
I would paypal you the money before you order.
robricc? or anybody else? Thad would be so kind....

BTW: what specs does the central power supply have? Does it switch to 240V 50Hz ?

I can vouch for Thomas -- no worries at all on him reimbursing whoever for this. I'm in Canada, so someone in the USA would be better positioned to do this than me, I think.

Remember you could still be caught by customs.

I know, but the chances are better to come arount. A company has to declare the goods properly, if it's sent by a private person, they don't look at it so exactly.

Anyway, thanks to all who have answered. We worked out a way to do it.

Yes, the PSU is fine 100-240v, auto-ranging. It was designed in Germany, like the Rio Receiver. The plastics are the fault of some Americans though, I'm afraid
