Thanks to all who have responded with offers of help.

I've had email correspondence from scm's web shop (scm-pc-card.de) and they do
send worldwide.  Their webshop is not sophisticated enough to be able to
calculate post and packing costs for dispatches outside Germany (not even for
France which is next door and the scm3512 reader only weighs 8g and doesn't
appear more fragile than a usb memory stick).

But they have rapidly rectified the situation and sent me a pro-forma invoice
which I have paid online.  So, I hope, my problem is now resolved.

It is however, some years since I last encountered so much kerfuffle for such a
small purchase on the net.

I point out too, that scm-pc-card did reply promptly to my emails.  A similar
query sent to a French company remains unanswered.

Regards,
Philip

I tried to buy an SCT3512 usb key device from Amazon.de and also from SCM in
Germany.  Neither will ship to an address outside Germany'

I tried the shop at kernelconcepts.de for the card but I can't get into their
website with Firefox under linux nor under windows - I just get a weird error 
page :

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_current_page() on a non-object in
/var/www/osc/catalog/includes/application_top.php on line 318

It looks like security is alive and doing well in Germany.  I though we had
something going for us in Europe these days but apparently not.

Can anyone suggest a supplier in Europe who will sell outside his frontier ?

Johnathan,

How far into the shopping process ? My cart fills fine here. That is
regarding kernel concepts. Don'y they also do a card reader ?

Anyway, I tried loads of places within the UK, not much luck, then just
bought an Omnikey, but my pinpad never worked until somebody made a
patch. Seems to work fine now. Although 2.0.19 broke it I think or fixed
it. I cannot recall, which one broke and then which fixed it again. ;-D

Maybe you could contact a supplier and ask them how much they would
want, if they order one for you.
However, then they will charge you RRP as a bare minimum, probably more,
as you asked them for it.

Regards,

Tristan

P.S: Maybe choose another model ? Which is more widely available ?
