Title: post from US
Post by: FAT-TOY on February 24, 2015, 10:14:27 am

  A mate needs to get a part from the US but the seller won't post overseas.  The part is a small plug, would fit in a match box.  I know we had some of you blokes use a business over there that you can have the part posted to and then have it sent here.  Any help appreciated.

Aus post in the US is https://shopmate.auspost.com.au/
I use ComGateway http://www.comgateway.com 
It can work out reasonable if you have several parts you want to send to Australia.  They will consolidate them and send them together.  I sometimes get caught out with large boxes, for example a front mudguard, where you get charged for the box size and not the weight. That can be expensive, but you can ask them to cut the box down to as small as possible.  All things being said, you get a US postal address and you can get around the problem of sellers not wanting to post outside the US for those parts you really need and cant get elsewhere.
Cheers,
Alex

If the buyer would like he can have it sent to me in Massachusetts and I'll send it to Australia.
