Buying parts from USA websites, that dont ship to Australia!
« on: January 15, 2012, 03:08:28 pm »
Hi Guys,
Does any one have information about how to buy new parts from certain USA websites...and get them sent to Australia. It appears these sites only trade with people from the USA, with US addresses and Post Codes!

Here is an example of a USA site http://www.kawasakipartsnation.com/ that I would like to buy new parts from. but cant, because I live in Australia!


I have heard that you can use "Bongo" but there are claims that Bongo is a ripoff!

Thanks

Bruiser

Mainline - I'm not sure everyone will get the abstract Blazing Saddles reference - but I did  ;D

I thought there were people on here that would take delivery and send it on  :-\  I remember a couple of people offering.

you can setup your own US address at myus.com  I have had one for a couple of years and get a great service. They forward your packages via DHL and usually arrive in about 3 days

What's the price for this service? DHL ain't cheap.

Website says they will use USPS also. The opening and inspection of package contents is a good service but will not be cheap. Good backup option and great concept.

I am really happy with the service at myus.com and cannot fault it. If you take the premium option you can hold packages for 30 days and ship as a bundle. DHL may be a bit more expensive than USPS but it gets here quickly - and delivered to your door.  They check all items and do a really good job of packing when combining deliveries.
