American Shipping

Post by kingtercel »

Im trying to buy a package over the net from an american company that ship internationally for a minimum of 200dolar purchase
whereas the package only costs $20 and i dont really want to buy 10 of them.
They ship any where in the US, are there any companys which forward shipping packages,(to Australia) which people know about??

or is there any one that could help me out?? ,
i will pay full shipping + extra to trustworthy person

thanks KingTercel

I drive right by my local post office on the way to work, so if you wanted to send it here and I'd forward it on, no problem......

kingtercel -
That quantity requirement is ridiculous - "Gee, boss, I don't know why we don't sell more stuff overseas... ."
Ditto on remailing it from St. Louis, Missouri if you prefer.
I've sold over 2K items on eBay (99% bicycle stuff), and a lot of the old BritBikeBits did go to Australia. So - I am familiar with the rates, etc.
PM me if you need

Im in perth Western Australia, the most isolated city in the world - makes for great road trips!

thanks a lot Mickey_d and ARCHINSTL, for the offer, ill give a message if it comes up in the next week

True it is quite an odd system, if you have to work to actualy get the product, but i thinkit's because they're more of a wholesalerand expect (would like) people to buy shippinng contaners of stock rather than an envelope of stuff.
it's damn annoying to have to pay the shippin prices to aust for stuf that americans get free shipping on, because shops dont stock it here, i guess soon enough ill have to pack up my terk and cruise over there
