Hi Guys,

Is there anyone in the California area who could help me out a little, the shipping agent I use is in California, if I can find parts in California the shipping cost to get them there is a lot cheaper, but what seems to happen is I find bits I want and then people don't accept paypal or think I am some sort of scammer and go cold on things. If I had someone in California who doesn't mind helping out a fellow FJMer then send me a message.

www.kiwishipping.co.nz is my shipping agent and they are at 6400 Regio Ave Suite 5494, Buena Park, CA 90620-1017

Thanks
Bruce

Wait the person has to be in California to send your parts payments? I'm not sure I understand.

He wants somebody in California, because his shipping agent is there. Be basically needs somebody to help facilitate his US based purchases. I'm in Wisconsin or I would be happy to help

To help others out (for Bruce), member 80Mirada lives over 2,000 miles (3,280 km) away from Buena Park. I live just a short bit closer at 1,340 miles (2,150 km) away.

Sounds like a great plan for shipping for Bruce, but neither of us will be able to help much.

What about using ebay as a middle man and use there global shipping program?

I see New Zealand is on there country list.

Global Shipping Program

What I mean is get the seller to list them on ebay, pay with pay pal and use there global shipping program.

Hell no!! they charge a fortune, like sell your left and right testicles! :) Sorry no to expensive, you buy something for $100, they say $50 to ship it and $200 in taxes! I got no idea where they get the huge value for taxes!

Maybe trustworthy Khris Kringle in the dark of night might be the cheaper option.

A lil testy there on the ebay idea, maybe try Somali Pirates.

Look here is a screen shot for a roller cam, I am sure it is them in the photo! Where do they get that $144 from, pull it out their butt! Welcome to ebay global!

At the end of the day, its the service they offer, if people happy to use it then all good, ebay is not forcing me in anyway to use it.
