Title: [Resolved] Importing
Post by: FKSSR on Thu, 26 February 2009, 06:47:24

Hey all,

I've been looking for the Steelseries Steel Keys 6G.  It was discontinued, and I can't find any seller in the US that has it.  I did find a couple in NZ, though.  One is called PCTronix Ltd (http://www.pctronix.co.nz/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=236&products_id=11116), and the other is called Acquire (http://www.acquire.co.nz/acquire/default.asp?PageID=ProductDetail&pf_id=687622).  I think the latter may be out of stock, since the stock just has a " sign, but they are cheaper if they have one.  I emailed both, and they both said they cannot ship to the US.

Is anyone here from New Zealand that could possibly buy this keyboard and ship it to me?  I'd pay you extra for your trouble, of course.  I can send money via PayPal.

Or...Does anyone know a place that I can import goods from New Zealand, a sort of "middle-company" in the transaction?

Thanks!

Disregard this chain.  I'm not going to bother with New Zealand. I'm not in a hurry to get the keyboard.  So, I'll just search around more for another place.  I found a place in Germany, but the dollar isn't so strong against the Euro. :)
