Maybe a disclaimer about only shipping anything "Legal" to ship?

Anyhow, if anyone overseas needs something, I would not hesitate to ship to any country, as long as you know your import laws ahead of time and you are sure you can receive it. Just remember shipping out of the US is usually VERY expensive. Apparently we don't want to sell overseas, just buy overseas. Also, remember shipping out of the US, that in order to insure your package, it has to go one of the fast methods, such as Express mail or Priority Mail. Regular international shipping is not insured, so you could loose your money if it never got there and it could cause bad feelings if it did not get there, or got smashed en route.

I’m a regular buyer of stuff from overseas and the US postage is higher than most. The UK seems very good value. Posting stuff from Australia to OS isn’t cheap either.

Considering customs requirements is also very important as Old-Lumens mentions. We here in Australia have very strict laws on many items (lasers, knives, sling shots, food etc.) It seems to be growing each year too which is sad but they have their reasons.

I know there is a lot of restrictions on things (food wise) like fresh fruit, seeds, plants, meat, etc. but I think things like sweets, chocolate, condiments etc should be ok, for most places.

I’m not going to do a disclaimer of any kind, just to ask people to use their common sense, please check if you are sending something to a country… That you are allowed to send it to that country and it is not a prohibited item it only takes a minute to google it! :slight_smile:

anyone get a cherry blossom seed?

I imagine that would be confiscated. In a packet should be ok but just a single seed, highly unlikely it would get through.

anyone wants dried mangoes? edit: anyone offers used xmls for 1$ each? :smiley:

There’s dried durians too but they taste disgusting lol

Durain cake is awesome!

Can send Vegemite !

A little Irish store I visited once had a tiny little basket of imported Irish candy, I could help but try one. :party: Few years ago, don’t recall the name at all. :smiley: But it was good!

Some advice to anyone wanting Vegemite. It's yucky. But then again I also dislike tomato sauce or ketchup as some of you call it as its yucky as well.

What about Weet Bix?

If they are 7D dried mangoes, I’d be interested.

MRsDNF is not a happy little Vegemite.

Weetabix sold in UK also. Smallest pack is a pack of 12. Aussie customs are very strict though as you know

I heard this is something you guys in the USA don’t understand!

Good old beans on toast!

!!

Eh, I’ve bean there, done that!

I’ve always think something like that, but not for food, only for knives :bigsmile:
In Italy the price is double for most american brand, like Spyderco.
But shipping cost are not so good…
