Simplest solution, as others have said, is just to buy from OWC. Prices are
about the same, at around $27 for the 128MB modules, they give you a
lifetime warranty, and shipping abroad is reasonable, especially for RAM:
with their $10 online discount, it is around $20 to Europe for the 15 sticks
you mentioned. 
 
I've recommended OWC in the past as the best online store for buyers outside
the US, and I stick by that recommendation.
