Sure. Send me a mailing address. Unites should have Europe-friendly wall-wart/power supplies and cables, etc. in the box.
Note for Vincent: the UK has different mains electricity sockets than most other European countries:
- UK uses BS 1363 (aka IEC 60083 Type G): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets:_British_and_relate...
- Much of the rest of Europe uses CEE 7 sockets, but these are not used in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEE_7_standard_AC_plugs_and_sockets
Mains electrical items shipped to the UK must typically have a BS 1363 plug or risk being delayed/impounded at customs.
(I think this stems from The Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1994/1768/made .)
So, best to check the mains plugs are UK legal before shipping. If they aren't, it may be wise to ship the boards without plugs/PSUs and let Andy source those locally.
