    Hey there!
    I am looking for a member from Egypt to help me, I want to buy something from "Jumia Egypt".
    However they only ship in Egypt, so I was wondering if anyone in here could help me get it shipped to Europe.

    Also, if anybody needs anything from Scandinavia I can help, specifically Denmark :)
    www.dba.dk is the site we use.

    As the first post had reached its character limit, here are the guidelines for using this service.

    PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE REQUESTING HELP OR ASKING TO BECOME A HELPER

    GUIDELINES FOR REQUESTING HELP:

    • Contact helpers for help via PM - do not ask in the thread.
    • Leave sufficient time for a helper to respond - we would recommend at least 5 days wherever possible.
    • You can check a helper's profile to see when they last logged in.
    • A helper doesn't have to reply or help - if you do not receive a reply, try another helper.
    • If an item is on an auction site, state the maximum bid you are willing to make.
    • You are liable for all shipping costs, including shipping to the helper and from the helper to you. International shipping is expensive. Feel free to ask in advance how much the helper estimates shipping to be, but don't expect them to know. You can find out weight and dimensions look up postal services online yourself.
    • The helper is entitled to ask for a small amount to cover their time and costs (packaging materials where the original is insufficient, fuel to get to the Post Office, PayPal fees etc.) - it is best to ask upfront how much they want.
    • Ask the helper what form of payment they accept. We would recommend PayPal or a bank transfer. You should expect to cover the helper's fees.
    • If you ask a helper to buy something, you are entering a written contract with them to purchase the item from them. The price may or may not be pre-agreed - it is unlikely the helper will know exact shipping costs. If you think you might pull out AFTER requesting a purchase due to high shipping costs, this service is not for you!
    • Please leave feedback for the helper after the transaction is complete. If their feedback page is not listed next to their name below, create it in the feedback forum.

    GUIDELINES FOR HELPERS:
    If you would like to offer your services - great!
    • To be eligible to help, you must have 50 quality posts and have been a member for three months.
    • Ensure you can speak your local language (for buying / contacting sellers) and English (for communicating with the buyer on the forum) reasonably well.
    • Either try to log in fairly regularly (e.g. at least once a week), or ensure your settings allow you to receive an e-mail when you receive a PM and log in when you receive such notification.
    • If you are going to be away for a prolonged period (e.g. two weeks or more), post in the thread stating this, and how long you expect to be away for.
    • Before you enter into an agreement and bid on or purchase an item, ensure the member requesting your help is fully aware there will be charges on top of the list price. Ask what their maximum bid is in the case of an auction, inform them how much shipping to you will cost, give an estimate of shipping to the buyer if possible (or at least point out there will be an extra shipping cost and that International shipping can be expensive) and inform them upfront what you require to cover your costs (e.g. fuel, packing materials).
    • We highly recommend using a tracked service, with insurance. A middleman carrier service may be cheap.
    • If you're outside Europe and the buyer is within Europe, inform them there may be a Customs charge payable. We highly recommend NOT undervaluing parcels - it is technically fraud and, at best, you would only be entitled to the declared amount in compensation should anything happen to the parcel.
    • Ask the buyer how they will be wanting to pay you in advance. We recommend accepting PayPal or perhaps a bank transfer.
    • Please leave feedback for a buyer after your transaction is complete. Use the search box to search for their username, and tick "Search titles only".

    Hi,

    Looking for someone from the USA to buy something from eBay and ship it to the UK at a better rate than is offered on eBay.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371574966837

    $48.50 to ship to UK is the cost. If someone can beat that, I'll happily cover all costs and of course give a little something to the helper!

    Thanks in advance!

    Specific model as in Pro 100? if so, there are loads of them.

    Or do you mean the manufacturer specific part number on the end? if so, you probably dont need that exact one. They are usually all the same, its just a part number that manufacturer uses to identify it.

    Not trying to derail, but if you post specifics as to why you need it - may find that you dont and save you the hassle. Not only that, if there IS a reason it needs to be that specific one - you can likely just reflash it anyways.

    I'm looking to fit one in a Xenon G5 kit I have and that is the exact model (741462-010) that was in the kits.

    So it's not really the software I'm after, it's the originality of the item itself. Basically, it's a big pain in the arse! I appreciate your input though mate :)

    Anyone from the UK knows where I can buy alcohol isopropyl 99% in a physical store? I tried to ask at a couple of pharmacies including Boots and I was told that the sale is prohibited?I went to Maplin as well but the one they have is solvant spray, I would prefer pure IPA.

    Thank you!

    PM the person listed in the first post as the USA contact.

    Yes - Maplin! Saw some in there the other week. Note that there are regulations on selling IPA and, if you're talking about the liquid, they'll probably have to give you the warning sheet. It's also a pretty big container.

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/isopropyl-alcohol-1-litre-re71n

    Isopropyl alcohol IS a solvent. If you don't want a solvent, don't buy IPA. The spray is exactly the same stuff, much easier and safer to use, though. DO NOT use the canned stuff indoors - you need a LOT of ventilation!

    What cars used these 9" emblems? I'm guessing a tailgate, if you still need one let me know.

    Tailgate is on the rear of a pickup truck, on this side of the pond. I'm a big mustang fan and never seen this thing, maybe police issued like the "Police Interceptor" badges on cruisers.
