Just phoned them up and they said they wouldn’t ship an iPod mini to the UK, but do you think if it’s an online order they would still process it? I really want a mini.

Thomas, how much did they charge you for shipping? I went to the checkout and there were three shipping options, but none for overseas delivery.
If they ship to Australia and it doesn’t cost too much, I might just place an order.
