What they probably mean is they don't get an option to get the CE, only the download edition.

This happens to everyone who has a local ubishop branch but doesn't reside in the UK and also those who don't have a local ubishop mirror and get forwarded to the UK one but they are not UK residents: it reads your IP and unless you're within the UK you can only get the regular boxed and download versions from your local ubishop mirror, or just the download one if you don't have a local ubishop branch.

Personally, i ordered it via a relative who's studying in the UK as i found no other way to get neither a CE nor a regular boxed copy.

However, a few days ago a forum/community manager over on Ubi forums said the CE and boxed editions will eventually be available throughout Europe. Maybe they are just not up to speed with their production of items yet, or they just plan to milk the download version for all it's worth and then release the boxed versions worldwide at a later date.
