    Default Favour needed by someone in the UK

    Just wondering if there was someone in the UK that could sort an ebay purchase for me? There are some Auger bits that I would like to get for my Reynolds Mortiser and the guy will only ship to the UK. There is a whole lot of Bits but I only want the ones that will go into the mortiser. If there is someone that can help just inbox me and we can sort out the best way to do it.

    Thanks

    If you know what you want, use this freight forwarding service to send them to yourself....

    They'll give you a UK address and phone number. Sender would be none the wiser.

    No problem. Circumvent in most countries or organisations. They have no idea and no way of knowing.

    The address Aramex give you looks like any other in the country.

    I do something similar in New Zealand. NZ Post have a forwarding depot in Middlesex, England, and Portland, USA. I've made a number of purchases in UK and USA and had them sent to these depots - who then forward them to me in New Zealand. The postage isn't cheap - but usually works out cheaper than outrageous eBay postage rates.

    I have three eBay addresses, and change my "primary postage address" according to where I'm buying.

    Cheers, Vann.
