Wanted: A trustworthy fellow Pelican in the US to help me out. Mountainbikers?
Well if you are reading this far then it was either the word "trustworthy" or "help" that got you curious. Please read on...
Here is my problem - I am a keen mountainbiker that lives in New Zealand (bottom righthand corner on most world maps). I order a lot of parts through US online bike stores and they are great - much cheaper and very fast postage.
The lastest thing I want to buy is a particular Fox Racing Fork I have seen at cambriabike.com. The only problem is that Fox put international shipping restrictions on their products so they can control the global prices. The fork I want to buy is USD$599 - that same fork here would be double that.
What I need is someone in the US that I can have the fork sent to (this eliminates the international shipping restriction). I would then send you the funds to on-post the fork to me here in New Zealand.
You can see why I used the word "trustworthy" because the risk would be all mine. For this reason I would prefer a Pelican that has higher post count or history on the board.
If anyone out there can help or suggest alternatives I'm open to suggestions.
I am aware there are companies out there that do this kind of service as a business but I have yet to meet anyone who has used them and can vouch for their integrity.
Thanks for reading and please PM if you can help
