Okay so I stand corrected on the assumption of how the Ship-it Program worked. :-) But as openSUSE is donating the DVDs and has experience in shipping worldwide, I think it would be useful to first ask the donor how they did/do it and to work out some logistics like Jos suggested in this thread by splitting up locations where to ship to and reduce customs overhead there.
