stormflora Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 You're probably asking on the wrong place, and with the wrong attitude. You're better off asking the seller whether or not they're willing to ship if you pay extra for delivery, and then enlist the help of a forwarder.

The wrong attitude? probably something lost in the translation, but it sounds like you want pity help. But what you really need is someone to do a paid gig. "Hey can anyone trustworthy pick up 4 comics worth XXXX during XXX week in Austin, Tx and mail them to me in Europe? I'll pay you XXXX plus the shipping via XXXXX" BUT, you are asking for something very specific, but have not offered many pertinent facts. You are asking random strangers for help, make it easy for them to help you. These are some fairly obvious questions that anyone considering would think about asking you. 1. How much approximately are we talking in terms of books? 3 comics is different than 56 long boxes. 2. How much money is involved, what is the approximate value of the comics? 3. How were you planning to get these comics? Are you eventually coming to get them? Are you asking to have them shipped to you? And if you are, are you planning to pay them for shipping ahead of time? 4. Are you compensating the person "helping" you? How much? 5. What precautions are being taken to prevent or accused of fraud by any of the parties? Robot Man, Dr. Love, mec3437 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
