Title: Req: Need US forum member - buying from Deck
Post by: Half-Saint on Wed, 19 January 2011, 14:10:19

Since Deck can't or won't ship internationally I need a really big favor. I'd like to buy two Deck 82 cases ($15 each) but I need someone from the US to do it for me. I'll be paying all expenses ofcourse and I can send you some goodies to make it up for the effort.

I already contacted ActiveKey (Germany) but they only stock black cases. DataCal haven't answered my e-mail yet.

Drop me a PM, if you can help!

Thanks,
Bojan

I'll investigate but I'd much rather have to deal with a forum member.

Cheers

I'll do it. However, it is going to be quite expensive (which I'm sure you are aware of).

Two cases shipped to my house is $43.15.
Then depending on the size/weight of the box, it might be cheaper to repackage it in a USPS flat rate box (wouldn't be sure until I had everything). USPS flat rate shipping to you would then be $57.88 including insurance for a large box ($45.53 for a medium box if it will fit).

Also, when sending me money I would need the extra 3.9% + $0.30 for paypal fees.

So total you are looking at about $105.43 for everything. (That's a lot for 2 cases, lol)

I paid about $21 shipping for an IBM Space Saver II - USPS First-Class International. IIRC it cost me $32 for USPS Priority International for one IBM M4-1. Using a flat rate box doesn't make much sense in this case. Two cases don't weight much so I reckon First-Class should be even cheaper.

Anyway, another forum member already came through but thanks for the offer!

No problem...that's why I said it might be cheaper for flat-rate, but wouldn't know until I had the actual dimensions and weight. Good luck with everything.
