Source for US delivery of UK keyboard?

[otto123]

Can anyone point me to a company willing to sell and ship to the US a UK keyboard (93P4782) for my 2373-Q1U?

I've tried IBM US, they've been no help at all and I've talked to six different people in 3 different departments. they don't recognize the part number so it doesn't exist. They were able to find a reference to the Chinese keyboard but had no pricing for it. They said they could attempt to bring this into inventory but it would be a 3 to 5 month process if even successful at that.

I've tried IBM International Sales, they don't sell parts.

I've tried IBM UK, they won't ship to the US.

I've tried eBay, no luck for 15" models.

So far I've found only one company, www.laptopbits.co.uk, but their price is 20 pounds higher than IBM's price - pretty expensive when converted to dollars.

I've suggested IBM drop the wording on their website "...parts found on IBM UK can be easily ordered for delivery from within your home country..." what a joke!

Thanks for any suggestions anyone can give, this keyboad is driving me crazy.
