Ship a US-bought shirt to Europe.. anybody can help?

Have you ever heard the term "mule"?

Have you?

Sending legal goods through legal services while paying taxes and duties to strangers over the internet doesn't exactly fit the definition.

Rudy, you're the guy who leaves his property unlocked, then wonders why things get stolen.

some change I won't miss and a pair of $5 gas station sunglasses? I'll take that over a $150 window and glass in my ass every day of the week.

No, but you could use your imagination to see where this could go.

Not for me, I ship from a business account and have to follow the rules. Tax and duties shouldn't be anything much on a couple shirts. We're happy to help but not happy to break any laws.

The rules stipulate that you can't avoid paying tax through duplicitous means but using your work account to ship t-shirts to strangers overseas is acceptable? Your work operates very differently from my own.

Fortunately that's not necessary when a specific example is given.

The problem is packing shirts in an envelope - any size

You need a small box

Meh, no you don't. It is a $30 AE shirt. Just stuff it in an envelope. Iron out the wrinkles.

Priority mail flat rate padded envelope is $24 (they raised the prices on these since last time I checked). Or just ship 1st class. It is $12 for a box.

The better question is what is so special about this shirt that you cannot find something locally which is equivalent?

what's wrong with you?

Just find some tourist and they can bring like 100 shirts in a suit case. Doesn't make sense for 1 shirt. Stuff inside stuffed animal. Make it an Anime doll. Lots of GI's in Germany. Put in box labeled farm tractor parts. (Russian Humor)

The OP implied up to two shirts.
I would not expect that two will not fit in the USPS envelope

As to the $12 box - is that for international - I did not see such on the USPS site?

The GI makes most sense. Have it shipped to a US APO box - US domestic rate


May cost you a case of beer at most.

You would be surprised how much you can stuff in a flat rate envelope.

$12 box is selecting a plain package on the bottom, then choose First Class on the next page. It is based on weight, so price will vary. $12 is for 8 ounces, it is $15 for 1lb.

-d'oh wrong thread - (stupid firefox jumping the page just as I click)

 

[feralkid]

what's wrong with you?

I refuse to forward overseas packages for total strangers.

Freaky, isn't it?
