It depends on where you live. How is import tax dealt with (in general)?

AIUI, the problem is not so much shipping as it is automatic verification of payment details for the donations/preorders. Currently only the countries on the list have the option and the system is not set up to bypass that.
How difficult would it be to add a "rest of world" entry to the list without automatic verification? Kinda like when booking Ryanair flight tickets: there is a list of countries for insurance, plus "don't insure me".

There's stuff like customs, special problems, simple problems, pseudo solutions, and even weird stuff like CoCom and equivalents
Until we found a logistics service that handles global shipping for us, we can't do quite a number of destinations, mostly because we don't know about the details, but sometimes also because we can't satisfy the requirements regarding papers and whatnot.
Sorry

I would naively say that customs etc are the recipient's problem. After all, a lot of eBay sellers ship worldwide, quoting outrageous shipping times to cover their asses (like 60 days to Russia). But hey, you are the boss!
Just one more question. Should someone, purely hypothetically, volunteer to play Santa Claus and donate 3 (or 30) times on behalf of poor orphans from unsupported countries, would that translate to 3 (or 30) separate units?

If you're thinking about the same thing that I'm thinking, there is 0 problem with someone from supported countries to collect money from people living in unsupported countries, getting Neo900's, then shipping them one by one to final recipients. The latter would only lose on 2x (roughly) shipping costs. And, Santa Claus would have shitload of packages to sent, but he is Santa after all, so he is used to it, yep?
