Honestly - I don't know what they charge for shipping from Germany, but the case itself is not too expensive, i think. So you should be able to afford shipping.
There was some other opinion that the case will not survive the rough treatment on the road, but as long as you do not tour regularly I think it will suffice.
Teach the young - honour the old - ask the wise and bear with the fools...
If you get the Gator I've got, just save some scraps of antistatic-foam material to fill voids and give it the ultimate cushioning all around (there is an insert in the case to help hold the mixer snug inside, but I don't like to use that, myself).
