I recently raised this Commons page as an idea for Wikimedia UK to support modest costs of international postage for items of obvious benefit (and of reasonable quality) to the open knowledge projects. This could be an interesting and relatively simple way for inter-chapter collaboration to work at the small scale. See <https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/2013_Activity_Plan/Ideas#International_Camera_Exchange> for the UK proposal. I would encourage representatives from other Chapters to make a comment on that ideas page, if you can imagine this being a practical thing to get working.
