Chris Wilson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I need to buy about 100 plastic spreader poles for electric fencing horizontal wires. They are very light, about 48 inches long and about 3/4 inch square. No one makes them in the UK, as far as I can ascertain. The makers won't ship to the UK. If i pay them by credit card is there a reliable and straightforward way to send to to someone who will forwrd them on to me here in the UK? Will a freight forwarders do a single package, or are they bulk only? Don't want to spend a fortune, either Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 It might work out cheaper to send me to the states and have me pick them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 If it is a big issue, I could ask my uncle to forward them on if you wish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be tempted to take you up on that, if there is no other means of doing it, but I'll try not to get him involved Thanks though, let's see if there are other options first.

Guest mk47 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Chris, try parcel2go.com, they have a facility to set up an us 'mailbox' where they then take over the order and forward it to a uk address. could be pricey though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big issue to do it seriously, he is based in North Carolina if you need to calculate shipping or taxes. He usually comes over to the UK fairly often so I'll see when he is due out next.
