But you know what? I visited their site (not very informative), found a french phone#, called the distributeur, who gave me the name of the local retailer, and presto- I now own a cocoon insectshield travel sheet!

Couldn’t have done it without you :-)

I used to include links to European online retailers, but they almost never got clicked on. It’s just a smaller, more fragmented market, with multiple languages. Still, you’re right. In the future I should probably say, “For the majority of our readers, unfortunately…”

I’m sure you meant ‘Unfortunately for those of us who live in the United States of America, the Cocoon brand is based in Austria’. No worries, mate, but for a travel site (and a good one at that), seems like a rather provincial way to express yourself.
