Location: North Wales, UK. | Any of you good cousins from over the pond know of a shipper who would take delivery of a Fleabay paid for O and ship it over here?
I am after a USA Balladeer or so for my collection but they are rocking horse sh1te over here and I can't find any/many sellers who will ship from the US to here. There are a few good options on the US Fleabay but shipping is a problem.

Best option - See if anyone here lives near the seller. Have him/her pick up the git and ship to you.
-or-
Have the seller ship to an OFC member and then off to you. I'd be glad to receive and ship if you wish. I did that for Riccardo (marenostrum) and it worked out fine.
Good luck in your search! |

I am actually trying to persuade the seller to ship to me but I don't think the miserable git will play with me. He has re-posted the O again and I would like to bid on it this time ;)

Nice thought m8 but the wrong side of the pond I reckon.
Have you used them m8 and do they accept deliveries from the sellers as well?

USPS don't accept deliveries but they seem to eb the cheapest option when sending to Blighty. Do yourself a favour and make sure you have insurance JUST IN CASE! |

Location: North Wales, UK. | Yes I liked that one m8, in fact during my research on it I found several references on different websites to the 'epaulets' Some descriptions even refer to it as mid-depth bowl as well???
A lot of copying going on.
