Title: Cheap international shipping idea
Post by: iMav on Sun, 11 April 2010, 09:18:08
It dawned on me that there was an easy way for a lot of non-US geekhackers to get items shipped cheaply from the US.  If any of you live near an American military facility, befriend someone working and/or living there.  Shipping from the US to "APO" addresses is just as cheap as shipping within the US.  

Many of you are probably a bit on the anti-social side, and some may also have political or personal issues with the US military.  Put that aside and take advantage of some cheap keyboard love.  :)

Seriously, I'd like to see any geekhackers that are US military living abroad to step up and offer to help with international shipping.

Also, I am always willing to help if custom fees are an issue (I've sent several keyboards to Europe for members here and continue to do so).

Just an idea.
