Not aware of any COD system outside of the US... makes it hard for people
abroad, but generally most sales of computer equipment take place within
the same country... especially due to the differences in the specs (power
requirements, language, etc). International shipping is also expensive (not
to mention insurance), so only the most expensive items are worth shipping
very far.
