It dawned on me that there was an easy way for a lot of non-US geekhackers to get items shipped cheaply from the US. If any of you live near an American military facility, befriend someone working and/or living there. Shipping from the US to "APO" addresses is just as cheap as shipping within the US.
Many of you are probably a bit on the anti-social side, and some may also have political or personal issues with the US military. Put that aside and take advantage of some cheap keyboard love. :)
Seriously, I'd like to see any geekhackers that are US military living abroad to step up and offer to help with international shipping.
Also, I am always willing to help if custom fees are an issue (I've sent several keyboards to Europe for members here and continue to do so).
Just an idea.
