  • Buy from USA even if they only ship to usa

    Just thought I would share a good thing I have just found

    Bundle Box in the USA is a site were u register with them and they give u a USA address, u can then get the parcel delivered (most of the time USA shops deliver free to con us) then Bundle Box sends you a
    mail to say the parcel had been delivered to them, and then u just fill out the parcel details ie weight, dimensions, etc and then they give u postage costs to the uk, as I have found on helifreak so many bits I would like to buy but they only ship con us, now I can buy goods and get shipped to the uk

    Although I have not used it yet, but I am sure I will now

    I've used at least 6 or 7 different US shops and all post to the UK without any problems. I'm not sure I'd feel happy going through a third party. What if the goods don't arrive? Will your CC company or Paypal re-reimburse you? I doubt it very much.

        I have only had one shop not ship directly and that was 'servo city'. At the time they had a very good deal on som HiTec servos (this was about a year ago). But I was in the states recently and looked for anything that seemed useful and just wasn't seeing many amazing deals really.

          tell me this, why would you make use of this with a shop as you say to get the free shipping? why not just get said shop to ship to you and avoid the delay?

          cheers

              Guys

              I am talking about people selling Heli stuff on forums in the USA, for me I think this will be a good idea ( hopefully), I saw some 500 spares being offered a little while ago on the freak for $40 no shipping costs to con us, I worked out that there was over £100 of bits on offer for £25, so I thought using Bundle Box for this I could get the spares for less than half price even with p+p costs.

              If I see something on the us Heli sites I will try using bb and see what's what, as u can pay bb using paypal so your covered.

              I work for the biggest credit card company in the uk soi will find out if I am covered and let u all know
