I would ask around in .general to see if anyone is willing to be a "drop
shipment" location for you.

I would not be a good person, as I get too many packages and I wouldn't want
yours to get mixed up with mine. But I'm sure someone would be willing!

Hi, i know people have gone on about this before, and i know the trouble that
it takes to ship stuff overseas, so is there any easy way around this that
won't affect the seller too bad.

I usually contact a seller if i see that he only ships to North America, to • see
if i can join the bidding/sniping, but a few times i've only noticed this at
the last minute, or the auction was in its closing stages so there wasn't
really time to check.

I was thinking it may be OK if i was able to get someone state side to have • the
sets shipped to, and every few months get the stuff shipped home. IMO's only
take 3-4 days (I'm shocked at AP's speed here!!!!) to get to the states, so as
long as the postal address is to an North America, is it OK. Should i let the
seller know before hand?

I've done alot of handling to the Middle East, and know some of the hassles
involved in OS Shipping, but there are some things i realllllly want, and • don't
want to miss out if i can help it.
