on forwarding help request

[captainRob]

Need some help!

I’d like to buy a new Nolan N104 helmet in the US and have it posted back to Australia (yes, I know it won’t have the correct Australian approval stickers).

I can arrange all payments (by PayPal?) and am not asking anyone to have to pay out of their pocket for anything.

But I need a mailing address, and someone to then on-forward it.

I have used several US on-forwarding companies with not much success; been ripped off, items lost, etc.

Can anyone help?

The plan is for me to buy the helmet (any ideas as to where to find best price?), have it mailed to your address, I will confirm and pay for postage to Oz, get you drop it off at the post office.

Many thanks, in anticipation!

Rob, I can drop it right down the street at the post office 95608. I don't know the best place to buy it, but if it is shipped to me, you will want to avoid California Sales tax. Here is a link to one of the lower prices I have seen https://www.compacc.com/p/Nolan-N104-N-Com-Modular-Helmets-Solid

Any reason they wouldn't ship it directly to you for the cost difference in shipping?

Thanks, mate, you are very kind - let me follow it up a bit more!

While you're following up, Rob, maybe think about this--CA sales tax is something like 7-1/2 percent (it seems to change every couple weeks or from one area to another). Lots of places you buy from online don't charge it, but I think if whoever you order from has a physical facility within the state, I believe they would charge tax. Check before you click the "OK" button on your order. And there are states without sales tax too, the lucky dogs, if somebody should pop up from one of them.

Thanks for the info, I hadn't thought of that - I thought it was only Austrailian politicians who made simple things difficult!

(now that's funny when an Oztrailian can't spell Australia !! )
