buying from ebay US...

[Six Addict]

aside from knowing someone in the US, has anyone found another way to get items from companies that dont ship outside north america? or alternately, does anyone know someone who might be willing to have something redirected through them to me here in sydney?

Marty should be able to get Elvis for you

No, but I am sure my mate Thomas would do it for you. He lives in L.A. PM me what you want etc., and I'll email him and ask the question.

Nah, not even close Steve. But, he was the videographer at the wedding and his mate who edited the video, is a Director of Production in Hollywood. He also lives next door to one of the bandmembers from Ramstein....... Will that do?

You can use a mail forwarding service. here is a list of some that have been recommended on some other forums and a quick blurb from each of their websites. Out of all of these, i would consider shopaholiques as they are a non-corporate operation, but seem to have gotten a good reputation. Your choice as to whom you use, or if you use someone else.

I have used Forwardit.us and can vouch for their service. I think they are small but are prompt at replying and fast with shipping.
