Miami FL?
Miami FL?
I was browsing the old eBay and found some inline skates for me and the Mrs.
BUT the seller did not ship internationally so I got a hold of a forwarding place in Miami and ordered the inline skates to them.
Now the problem: They want more than $400 to forward it to me in Sweden, witch is ridiculous. They even want over $300 to ship it cross country to another friend in the states...
So to say the least, I'm SCREWED.
My only hope is that someone in Miami can pick it up and send it the cheapest way possible to me.
I don't care if it's skate by skate in four different packages or how ever it needs to be shipped. I just want it here asap.
Best regards / F

The dimensions are: 66x46x20cm witch is roughly 26x18x8 inch. It's two of them couse it's two pairs of inline skates.
It has to be picked up in Miami.
I have send them an e-mail today and questioned the price and lack of choice when it comes to shipping carrier. This is a company stationed in Luxembourg that specializes in cross atlantic shipping. I think there shipping calculator is screwing with me and calculating the weight based on size (as normal when shipping by airplane), that's why I get that ridiculous amount when changing to another US address.

I have not paid anything yet. But have checked a couple of zip codes and where ever I like to send it inside the US is over $300.

The person at the UPS store picked up my item and crated it. It was on a pallet to start. To ship the pallet would have been $1900. A crate was $1200 because it can be stacked. Add $300 for the UPS store to build a crate and transfer it to a freight company for a total of $1,500. I know I only saved $400 but, that was enough to buy tires for my car.
Your items seem a bit easier than my crate.

I've had luck with contacting a UPS store that is local to an item that I ordered from Sacramento California, I'm in New Jersey, opposite side of the country.

Nice experience. Du to my lack of ability to speak proper English, expensive international phone calls and no experience what so ever with how stuff works over there I feel stuck in this.

If you paypal'd them, I can see why they wouldn't want to ship to an unverified address.
I'd be glad to ship them at cost to you if you can get them to me. No worries about theft, we only rock rollerskates in this house.

04-23-2014, 08:45 PM #9WTF? Why in the hell do they want 300 to ship to L48 states? Is it the seller that wants 300 to ship CONUS? Link me to the auction, I want to see this crazy crap.

Yea and there new "good" offer is $285 to Sweden. But here we are starting to get some problems. Say I forward it for $72. What happens if you guys can't ship it here super cheap? I need a local pickup or them to be able to forward it for $10-15.
I have to solve this like within the coming 5min or so, so I will ship it to Purplecomputer who has agreed to help me out. Thanks in advance mate. I really just hope you can find a cheap and reasonably fast shipping for me without to much hustle.
There are STD-guys everywhere but Miami

Ohh, ok, I didn't solve this... I just sent them another ANGRY email saying that they could send it within the lower 48s for $10 with Greyhound and that $72 is what I could pay for shipping to Sweden.
Yea and some good abusive language
I'm sooooooo angry right now. If I where down there I would walk in and bitch slap them all and take my damn package and walk away.

It's not the eBayer, he sent them cross country for $7,95 so that's fair. Got a second quote from the forwarding place (in Miami where they are now) and they want $72 to ship it anywhere within the states (lower 48), that means even down the fu**ing street... Or to any of you nice guys here.
