American Surfers Travelling to Australia

Postby ocean_dusk19 » Sat Jun 23, 2007 2:29 pm

Hey, I live in sydney, surf etc Am trying to get in contact with ANY american surfer who's commin to australia in the near future. So if anyone knows ANYONE at all who's commin to Aus soon, let me know
I need someone in the US to help us with something and I can PAY them for it
there's this collectible bottle over in the US that I have to get to australia, I own the bottle, but i cant get it
posted here because of ultra strict shipping policies of fedex, dhl etc BUT its absolutely fine to bring over on a plane. Only problem is i dont know anyone at all who might be commin to aus in the near future,

I can get it posted to you in the states and then pay you when you get here for bringin it over for us
I live in Syd and surf up the coast usually a couple of times a year as well, so should be easy to arrange somethin, or even arrange to just post it to us when you get here and I can transfer funds through in advance or something

Would need to get in contact with us soon

And just to repeat, I will pay you for bringing it over the plane for us

so yeah if anyone here knows anyone at all, just reply in thread or email me at ocean_dusk19@hotmail.com and we can go from there or something,
thanx

yes I'll spend 2000 to get a collectible bottle over here, good idea

If anyone else hears of anyone planning to come to Aus soon, tell them to email me if they're interested in getting some extra cash when they get here

So, it's illegal to ship it, but you can carry it yourself... I didn't think customs law worked like that. I thought it went more one the lines of: if you can transport it, no means no!

LIKE I ALREADY SAID IN THE FIRST POST, US POSTAGE POLICIES ARE PARTICULARLY RESTRICTIVE.

IT IS FINE TO BRING A BOTTLE OF LIQUOR OVER THE PLANE (This is common knowledge, I'm surprised you are not aware)

BUT YOU CANNOT, REPEAT, CANNOT SHIP IT OUT OF AMERICA

AUSTRALIA DOESNT HAVE POSTAGE POLICIES LIKE THIS, BUT THE US DOES
They are unnecessary policies that are about market control for the benefit of US conglomerates, there is no decent reason for these policies

But regardless, if customs find it in the mail, they will take it

THATS WHY I'm asking if anyone knows anyone who's comming to Australia soon, to let me know and I would pay them for bringing it over on the plane

Thanks thats a really nice offer, but the problem is more with customs, if they find a package that has a bottle of liquor in it they will return to the sender, or even just hold it indefinitely. So I might pay $80US for fedex postage and it could just end up getting sent back to you.
It goes through an x-ray machine usually so they can see if a bottle of something's in it.

But like I said, bringing it over on a plane is no problem, its just about market control.

So if you know anyone who might be comming to australia soon, would be great if you could let me know, I'd pay them well for bringing it over, its a rare bottle, not just a regular bottle of liquor, I can provide a bubble wrap package for it to travel in too, Thanks

Again my email is ocean_dusk19@hotmail.com
