Title: Looking for trusted US forum user to ship me a bike.
Post by: RCHumphrey on August 05, 2015, 09:31:48 PM
Hi everyone,

I'm after this indoor bike here:

http://www.amazon.com/Sunny-Health-Fitness-Indoor-Cycling/dp/B00467H5YW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

The issue I have is that amazon.com won't ship it to me (I live in the UK).

So... I wanted to know whether it would be feasible to get one of these bikes sent to my UK address by a trusted US resident on this forum and if so what price they would quote me. Just to add I'd be paying for the bike myself to the users address ( I don't want a carded bike arriving at my address ).

The bikes are quite heavy and big.

If someone is interested please let me know how much they'd charge me for this :)

PM's preferred. Trusted = essential.

No offense, but what's to say that you are not carding the bike to the person that receives it.  And in turn ships the carded bike to you only later to get busted themselves?

I had sent him a PM asking him if he would be willing to pay for the bike in bitcoin so I would know 100% that the (my) credit card being used to buy the bike was not carded. I have not yet heard back from him.

Why don't you just buy it from amazon uk yourself?
I found the exact same item there

Thanks for all the responses.

(1) I hadn't even thought about carding it to someone else's address. I agree that does cause a problem as it's a bit of a stalemate. I replied to Quickseller's PM before I read this information.

I would trust certain trusted people to do this but I'd need confirmation my side that it was purchased straight off a credit card not off purse.io not carded etc. Provided I had this evidence I'd be happy for the person to pay for it.

I'd pay in advance with BTC or PP, whichever people prefer.

(2) Yes the item is on Amazon, but had you actually looked into it you'd see the price to the UK delivered is £699, whereas to the US is $299. Hence the reason for my post. Additionally the UK item isn't currently available.

Ah, i didn't notice the price, my bad mate  ;)
I don't had that much money on my PP so i can't really help  :)

What are the shipping costs of this specific item from the US to the UK from your address?

You can also use borderlinx.com, used them to get some shoes shipped to UK, you can use the cost calculator to estimate costs, though for bikes I think they will be high, might not be worth it in the end.
