Buying From America, No Uk Shipping.

[sapelesam]

Can anybody halp me with a tricky problem. I want to buy an item from a USA supplier but they don't ship outside the USA. Is there an agency that can help, any suggestions would be appreciated. Just to confirm the obvious, no I can't find it anywhere else

there appear to be various companies doing this; I've not tried any so can't offer any recommendations

I ran into the same problem a few years ago, couldn't find any agency that could help. The company I was trying to buy from suggested they would dispatch to a relative living in america, but I had none. Never did get what I wanted. Sorry, not much help.

Thanks Jno and Vulcan. The supplier will only ship to the address of the card holder. A bit much to ask people I know in the states to pay for it, even if I will reimburse them.

So who is the card holder?

any friends Stateside that could act as an intermediary staging post for you?

Bazile and DTC, the card holder obviously is me, and I posted 16.11 why I don't want to ask friends.

You could transfer the money up front.

I still think it's lot to ask Naomi. If I could do it so a friend received it and had it collected from them, then I would ask

They will only ship to the address of the card holder , but not if the card holder is outside the USA
