    Try the online Apple store:

    http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore/

    Estimated build time is 1-2 days, so you'd get it in a week. (Bare in mind that they actually manufacture iPods to order, they don't have vast stocks of them on hand - and that they ship direct from the factory in Taipei).

    im currently trying to figure out hpw to buy a 20gb ipod off the apple.com US store, as it is far cheaper, but also because ofthe fact my american cousins are coming over for xmas!
    # i get it as a good xmas pressie
    # £30 cheaper
    # no stupid volume cap ( stupid french law)
    # free engravement (w00t)

    overall a very happy chappy :)

    You'll probably have to get your rellie's to buy it for you, as Apple will probably require a US postal address to send it to. Plus if you do buy direct from them, you'll be liable for VAT and Import duty.

    Get them to purchase it and give them the cash back, and they can bring it over when they visit.
