Hi Cory,
I know it's not much of a suggestion, but did you try emailing the company?
Alternatively, you can do a direct deposit from your bank. All you need from the supplier is the name of the account holder, the IBAN account number (the company will need to give you this, as it is different from their normal bank account number), and the address of the bank. Then you should be able to do a standard online transfer.
I have ordered stuff to Australia this way, although from other suppliers.
Unfortunately Germany doesn't seem to be up with the whole paypal/credit card thing.
HTH

holy crap! $45!!!
That's nuts. I normally pay $20 Australian for that kind of transfer.
Glad you sorted it out.
Over here in Gemermany transfers are normal. Plus, they normally send the goods first before you pay. Which I think is nice. It's nice to know that trust exists in some places!

Next time just get someone of the EuroFreaks to order it for you. There's always the option to use PayPal for the transfer which is expensive but far of what you mentioned. Or you could send a cam for exchange. 45$... my goodess...
Greetz,
Daniel

Just a heads-up, I was talking with someone who had just gotten back from the Dolomites, and had been using the "Süd Band", last week. He told me that some of the grades were definitely sandbagged (at least in his opinion).
Just something to possibly be aware of....? (I've never climbed in the Dolomites, so I don't know how serious a bit sand-bagging could be...)

Cory, if you want I can give you an Arco guidebook (Hohe Waende im Sarcatal). Might be useful to have in case of bad weather in Dolomites.

haha, thanks guys.
Alex, I actually own the Hohe Wande im Sarcatal guidebook, as well Arco Rock. As soon as I pick up the the two Dolomites books from the post office (tomorrow) I will be ready to rock (climb) and roll!
Thanks again!
