I just had an interesting and illuminating experience.  A few weeks ago I
posted a request for help regarding German bed accessories (for a co-worker
of mine).  I was referred to a German firm called Quelle.

I e-mailed them, and they do indeed have the bettbezug set she needs:

They said they wouldn't ship merchandise overseas, so I contacted the Quelle
store in Estonia.  They at first said the same thing, and also suggested
that I could probably find bettbezug sets in the US.  After I explained the
situation (US beds and pillows have different length-to-width ratios and are
made to non-metric specifications), they agreed to ship the merchandise.

Living in all-metric Estonia, they may not have fully realized how very
different our measurement and product standards are here.
