They must have not paid attention that much at school? What you could do is
have a German order it for you, stick the money in an envelope (in between
a card, so that the post won't see it), and snail mail this to any German
willing to help you. He could then order it from H&P and mail it for the
price paid plus normal postage.
Other than that, let me know where you live in Poland. I have some friends
who are from Poland, and still go there often. If they (their family)
happen to live anyplace near you, they could just drop it off at your
place?

I'm not sure about shipping, but I would imagine shipping costs to Poland
wouldn't be more than shipping costs to Greece? I'll contact H&P about
this.

You could check BlitterSoft in the UK, maybe they charge in a more sensible
way for overseas shipping? One final thought: Ask Computer City in
Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I don't have their address at hand, but could
search for it if you want me to. They distribute all kinds of H&P stuff,
and have fair prices/shipping conditions. Also, it would be good if you
would just contact sales@haage-partner.com with a complaint about Polandd
being moved out of Europe, explaining that you want to buy from them, but
that you don't want to pay more for shipping than the average European. I
know that some countries have very high taxes when you ship something to
it, that's why they are not included in the standard European list (it
costs more to ship there, because of customs), but I do not know if Poland
is one of those countries.
