shafz Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 HI guys, im hoping someone could help me. I want to buy something from a retailer in the US but they wont ship to UK and their UK division are not releasing the product until November. I was hoping to buy this before then as a gift. Whats the best way to go about this or can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Man Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ship it to an address in the US and then ship it yourself here. Do you know anyone over there? A quick Google comes up with http://www.shipito.com/usa-address-mail-forwarding But that's your choice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain Bucket Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm working in the US in November and can bring back small stuff and post from the UK if it helps. Kermitthefrog, StuBeeDoo and Cannockwolf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuBeeDoo Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 they wont ship to UK and their UK division are not releasing the product until November. I think there's a clue there. They don't want their product in the UK until November. Wouldn't mind betting that after the product is released here they'd love to ship one at UK price.

Kermitthefrog Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I really wanted a nice set of Oakley shades and they were 200 pounds in the UK. I bought them for 150 dollars in the US and had them delivered to a friend over there, as they would not ship them out of the US. Long story short, my friend couldn't easily send them here because of customs paperwork, 15 sheets of information to fill in and a fee of 200 dollars. It makes sense though, otherwise everyone would be doing it. The only way I got around was to get them to another friend from UK but works in the US regularly, and he brought them back in his suitcase.

PoohBore Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 You need your American friends to be more creative with customs. What is it that you want ?

matjo Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Honestly, I have not dealt with this, but I read on another forum that there are companies that can help. I work in such a production, and we somehow confront with checking companies like this en.clc.co.ua . Try to solve through the question through it.
