Where/how to buy from outside the US (Europe?)

[ldematte]

Where could we buy the same/a compatible (or "supported") kit from outside the US? From Adafruit or another vendor? I understand Adafruit maybe could offer international shipping, but intl shipping from a US-only company to EU is highly impractical and uneconomical (shipping fees + taxes + duties can easy double or triple the price, undercutting one of the primary reasons to buy a starter kit)
