Why can't we order SuSE Linux from the website if you're living outside Germany???
One reason why it is very difficult for e-commerce companies to distribute internationally is that they need the competence to understand the import/export taxes of both countries to do so. I know of three solutions: 1. employ people with the competence - very expensive; 2. find a logistics company who will do it for you - difficult because although these companies can do it, the customer often pays more than necessary, especially when most customers will blame the seller and not the logistics company for the extra cost; 3. Distribute from within the country, either through a local distributor or a local operation - usually the most practical solution, and the solution SuSE and other companies such as Amazon.com have chosen.
