Title: I will buy anything you want from California and ship anywhere
Post by: ryanm on November 25, 2014, 07:50:56 AM
Hi,

I'm willing to buy and ship anything you want, anywhere in the world.

Stuff like:
- Trader Joe's anything...
- your favorite cereal (I'll buy those Pop Tarts or whatever you wish)
- surf boards, brands or gear, and anything cool made in San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, even Hawaii
- sports apparel (authentic SF Giants gear?)
- electronics (new in box)
- fresh roasted coffee (Blue Bottle, Stumptown, Four Barrel, etc.)
- brand name clothes
- anything on US Amazon
- anything you've seen on Black Friday

Only requirements:
- must be shippable
- payment in Bitcoin only
- everything is escrowed til you receive the item
- items must be legal for me to buy
- items can't be too much of a pain to acquire (like a Black Friday item/special that would require me to sleep in line for 2 days)

Be creative! If you could have anything from the States, what would you want? I'm your guy. I have a bunch of things I'd love to get from places like Japan, UK, etc.

Feel free to reply to the thread or DM me. What kinds of things would you be interested in?

How much are you charging for your service?

Or is it just a straight reimbursement in BTC?

Are you willing to act as a shipping forwarder?

Some stuff on ebay only ships to US.

As a PA resident I cannot order wine from CA or anywhere else for that matter. Would you be willing to purchase and ship a case or two for me?

Hi im based in the UK. I would love a bottle of Tim Smiths Moonshine. My friend and I watch moonshiners and i would love to get him a bottle for christmas. It isnt sold anywhere except USA so I cant import it. Can you help?

Many Thanks

Hi folks,

To answer everyone's questions...

@2dogs I'm doing this for fun, so at least for now, no markup.

@miffman you got it. Sour Patch Kids are $24 (all USD) for 10 x 5oz bags, or $16 for 24 x 2oz bags. Delicious. :)

@Sakarias-Corporation, you bet. California gets 151 proof Everclear and recently started getting Absinthe, which as you know has varying quantities of Wormwood, which seems to vary with price. Do you want the "good stuff" or just to try it?
Everclear 151 Grain Alcohol (750 ML) $21/bottle
Grune Fee Absinthe (750 ML) $35/bottle (there are other options, when I run to the store, ranging from $35-70)

I also recommend an absinthe spoon and sugar cubes from your local store for proper enjoyment.

@yussuf89 looks like shipping under 4 lbs is about $30. Less if it fits in a smallish box. Obviously you'll want to buy enough in quantity to make it worth it the shipping cost. I'm pricing based on US postal service rates. If someone has ways to get cheaper rates, I'll use those and pass on the savings.

@Ron~Popeil absolutely! Do you have a specific wine in mind?

@sionsandman possibly, what kinds of items are we talking about? Feel free to PM.

You bet. It must be really really good, it's hard to get. I'm a scotch drinker, but it looks like I might have to have a bottle myself. I will try everything to get it to you by the holidays. I'm assuming 2 x the Original bottle ($38.5 USD)?

At the moment I would just be after retail items. Clothing etc.

But, I would really be after high end bags and watches. Louis Vuitton Burberry and so on. We get huge tax hikes on them in Australia.

Post by: TheButterZone on November 25, 2014, 11:57:02 PM
Since both ryanm and I are in San Diego (but I'm not sure if we've met) and I don't ship internationally, would anyone want to have him handle the international shipping for my stuff at http://fs.tbz1.com ? I'd need to be paid directly in BTC for just the cost of my item before/at time of handover to ryanm. Any other expenses, escrow stuff would be between you and him.

You're going to have the pay the customs tax on it when it gets delivered to you.

I'm looking for stuff from Trader Joe's.

Not wine cause it is probably illegal to send, and not breakable, but something like this for my cat:

Holistic naturals treats

koshgel:  You had to mention In-n-out!  Now you've made me homesick again!

In my research, it appears that this varies by country, and can be the exception rather than the rule. Have you experience in receiving/sending items as "gifts"? That was going to be my first approach.

Seriously, if I could send you all In-N-Out, that would be bonkers. Thanks for coaxing me into what to eat tonight. :)

No problem on the cat treats. Looks like they go for $17.5 USD for 3 x 3oz containers. How many 3 packs do you want? And these are the right ones, yeah? https://i.imgur.com/qw5JmWU.jpg

Yes, those are the exact ones!  Our cat is addicted to them!
I'll most likely try just one pack for now to try your service, plus there is shipping, correct?
Priority mail to 96720, please if possible, a flat rate envelope is only $6, I think?

Should we use escrow?

Looks like a great service :)
As many of the people here will be using escrows since he is a new user, I would recommend stop taking orders for a week of 2, so people receive the orders and can confirm. Then you would also have a great reputation to start off and will certainly get many more orders (with escrow ofcourse )

Bitcoin (via escrow) for payments, I'll just charge you what I get charged at the postal service. My goal is to minimize that. I'll get everything shipped within 48 hours of payment (escrow confirmation).

Feel free to PM or Skype any time (since I keep hitting the rate limit on PMs).

Cheers!

You bet. Will grab some tomorrow, if you like. How many would you like? Looks like they are about $10 each out the door, but will confirm tomorrow.

Awesome! Happy to help. Looks like I'm headed to Trader Joe's tomorrow. I think it might be a bit tight to ship in a 12.5x9.5 envelope... next step up is $13, but if I can put it in the smaller one, I'll gladly send the balance of the shipping cost back.

We can use escrow, or this thread and keep it out in the open, if you like. If you just PM me your shipping address and send payment to 13GhqbdJha5pE76BqNwCquY9V4UEsEh4PX (or work out escrow with Blazedout419, if he's willing), we'll be off to the races!

Any high end designer bag or watch is going to be over AUD1,000.

According to customs.gov.au, it doesn't matter if you call it a gift:

Quote
Gifts sent to you

There is no longer a concession for goods sent as a gift. Goods that are gifted, donated, loaned or supplied free of charge are still subject to assessment for duty and other taxes and charges if they have a value of more than AUD1,000 or if the goods are tobacco and/or alcohol products.

I just charge whatever the post office does... depends on the size/weight of the package but usually $20-30 for something small and fairly light. What might you be interested in?

Hello! Just saw this and I am really interested in one item: do you think you could get me a razer blade ? I am waiting for the 2015 model and it will probably only be available in the US.

Absolutely. Can you give me the specific model, and to where I'll be shipping and I'll get you a price?

Hey guys, I found a guy in Atlanta to track down and ship these bad boys out to the UK. Fingers crossed. Worst case, I'm out the bottles and we'll turn the escrow around and I'll pay any escrow fees. Best case, I've got a guy who can get us all hard-to-find moonshine (he offered to pick us up some of the Deep South "real stuff").
