    Thumbs up Buying things off eBay a good solution for less hassle (postage)

    hello all

    I must recomend you look at you post service from nz post



    I can have Two you post address that are assigned to you . one the uk one in usa

    Warehouse that safely hold your goods i assume owned by nz post .

    So know insteed hassle having to email the seller plead with them sometimes to send this far . Most are good

    Amaizon wont send big items like rockband strat Guitar know i just go click and can buy anything my heart desires

    you still have to play for the weight and around 100.00 nz for most the times i brought down to 17.00 for small stuff.

    Its most probley only down side u dont know cost till it arrives at the warehouse , and then u get email message ,as it arrived. proccess dafter payment

    clearance through customs here etc . bes t part for me got 21 days to play and u can change a destination adress at any time

    In case my wife finds out ;-)


    there a guide of the web page on cost of freight on volume and weight and there is weight limit of

    The minimum chargeable weight is 500g. The maximum parcel weight is 30kg. The maximum parcel dimensions are: any one side no longer than 1.5m in length with a maximum parcel size of 3m (length plus girth.)

    That first post was painful to read.

    The YouShop scheme is quite good and I'm currently waiting for the first parcels of contraband that Amazon refuse to send here. Obviously terrorists have a use for Nike shoes and these must not be shipped from 'Murika under any circumstances whatsoever.

    The YouShop depot is located in Oregon which, I'm lead to believe, has some tax incentives.

    Your first parcel has a fee for sending it onward to UnZud, but any other parcels are charged at a flat rate of $6-.
    Just get yourself organised and have several shipped there and combine the onward shipment home. You can store stuff for up to a month (iirc), for multi-shipment.
