Any one in Australia able to take deliver of a car

Post by JamieB »

Hi guys,

I don't suppose there is anyone in Australia who is able to take delivery of a RC car and then forward to the UK?

I'm in the middle of potentially buying one but the seller is not willing to ship to the UK.

Demz I have tried to PM you but the message seems to be stuck in my outbox?:?

Not sure if this is just a logistical nightmare I should forget about...

Looks OK. I don't think its in a box but assume the seller will put it in one. They recon it would be AUS$100 to send to UK. I think that works out about £50 which I would be willing to pay.

I'm sort of thinking I am chasing a car which I am already p'ing in the wind with but would like it if I can get it.

Thanks

Jamie

A bit far from me but might be some members closer? Check out www.auspost.com.au to figure out postage to the UK. Your lucky our dollar is so poor as it makes it cheap for you.
