Was that due to their previous shipping charges?

1334857 2013-04-08 07:21:00 Am wanting to get some stuff sent from the states from Amazon, but they won't ship this particular item internationally .

Anyone tried YouShop before, or can recommend a decent freight forwarding company?

Thanks .

If you have someone you know in US just get them to buy it and mail it to you .
Way Cheaper . Of course iam guessing from your post you dont know anyone .

I have sent several of my mates stuff i bought on Amazon and mailed to NZ and then get compensated via PayPal .

Since Amazon does not have a brick and mortar stores but only headquarters in Seattle, some states in USA do not charge Sales Tax when shipped to that state's address .

So you simply pay sticker price and free shipping generally for anything over 50 bucks ! Not sure what address NZ Post uses in US for goods to be sent to NZ
as all states dont collect sales tax from Amazon except the following: Arizona / California / Kansas / Kentucky / New York / North Dakota / Pennsylvania / Texas / Washington .

1334858 2013-04-10 00:43:00 Amazon have marked the package as delivered on the 6th, still haven't heard from YouShop, and there are no packages showing on my 'at warehouse' page on their site - how long do you think I should wait before getting onto them?

Thanks.

1334861 2013-04-10 04:06:00 $22 to ship, so all up including Amazon's shipping, was less than $28NZD. Not bad. wratterus (105)
1334862 2013-04-10 05:40:00 Took a while for YouShop to say they have received the package. Took 1 or 2 days after US tracking said delivered. sahilcc7 (15483)
