American tfans... some help sil vous plait

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

American tfans... some help sil vous plait

Post by snarl » Thu Feb 18, 2010 12:50 pm

I want to get something from an American website...

Said website wont ship to the Kingdom of United.

If I decide to buy this item, can I send it to someone here, and you then send it to me?

Don't see why not. You can PayPal me the postage.

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

If you live in europe (or a country that is part of the EU?) you'll have to pay taxes if you buy stuff from non-EU countries.
(that might not tell the whole story... but that's about it).
Can't believe I'm still here.
