Any ideas?

You are making things very complicated for yourself and search engines for
seo purposes. the simplest way would be to use a 301 redirect from com to .co.uk without frames this would show .uk when accessed via the com site but be better
seo wise. framed would show com but not so good
seo wise. make one price list but with different post & pack rates & other things for different country's to make up price differences,this will be a much better way search engine wise,although not exactly what you want to do.
simplicity is the keyword including when updating or making adjustments to the site. I have my main site as .com (see below footer signature) but own all other domains if you put .co.uk or .co.nz or org or net at the end you will still get .com seamlessly.
from long term use I find unframed is the best way to go. just make clear on the index page that you are international with different country names on the page which will help you to show up for particular country's in search engines also I think the country names in meta tags cosponsoring with those on page may also help. maybe even dedicated pages to particular country's with nothing but info for particular country on page & meta tags with link to index page.the lists of ways is endless.
