What about Non-U.S. customers?	We offer free shipping to all customers living within the 48 contiguous states of the United States. Prospective customers in the following states or countries have to pay for shipping and customs to our collection points in New York (USA), London (UK) and Berlin (Germany): Alaska, Hawai, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories plus customers in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, and the U.K. At this point, we don’t offer the iPod exchange to international customers in other countries. We offer digitizing services only to U.S. and Canadian customers, not to Western European customers. Please e-mail us for the mailing address of our collection points in London, UK and Berlin, Germany. For customs purposes, we recommend declaring all CDs as “used CDs” with a total value that reflects current valuations in the used CD market, i.e. $0.25 per item. Instead of sending non-U.S. customers a device we will send you an international postal money order in order to avoid customs for a new device. The amount of these money orders will be the purchase price of the device in US$ on the date the exchange is completed. Please feel free to contact me either by e-mail (kris@ipodmeister.com) or by phone at 877-4POD CDS (877 476 3237) in case you have any questions.
