Well as you seem to live in England I guess you are right about the from
part, but that also implies that I have been horrendously overcharged but
UK-firms for various items. From Sweden to UK I last time paid £22 for a
shoebox containing some leads and a book... 2,5 kilos if my memory serves
me. Perhaps shipping is just insane in Sweden and you are 100% correct that
I don't do much shipping, do you blame me? =)

So even if shipping fees possibly varies a lot in europe it still isn't my
only gripe against such endeavours. I have been around lot enough on the web
to have experienced all sorts of badmouthing ranging from "it was in good
condition when it left my doorstep" to "Mister so and so sends you a brick
in a box don't deal with him". So I won't do it for just a module or two.
Not saying that other shouldn't, but a fair warning is in due place.

If you like making cgi's go ahead, but I would be quite surpriced if many
actually swaps will be made. On the other hand who cares? There are millions
of zero traffic websites without even a good purpose and the intention is
good.
