I was talking to you about getting a promo CD for the Irish Times (you even said it was a good letter !!*%%#$^) so I take it thats off the cards now? What kind of volumes of promo CDs were you sending around? I would have never expected a couple of CDs getting much attention at customs, sheesh. > If you know of someone in the U.S. who is willing to deal with all > these issues for you or otherwise provide "trans-shipment" outside the > U.S., then that's obviously something else entirely and I'm perfectly > willing to do that. Sending CDs within the U.S. is not a problem. I might be interested in doing it for Europe depending on volume and the amount of hassle it is sending them to people. (I really can't see this being a problem, maybe its just US->EU thats causing difficulty) So, how many CDs are we talking a month/week on average? > It's > not just enough to have a distributor there, you need to have the CDs > *made* in europe in order to avoid customs problems. For sale or promo? Did you do to the customs people, you weren't a drug trafficker in a previous life or anything? Niall -- Niall Smart, rotel@indigo.ie.
