SOS!!! Oh dear, seem to have a problem.

[ClockworkOrange]

Well, my story so far.

For my soon to be five year old grandson, my son asked if I could I find one of those football alarm clocks that you turn off by throwing at the wall.

(Soccer ball alarm clock, throw to shut off, great gift. Item number: 8733615574. Seller: thenecexities

Easier said than done, searched the internet and the only place I came up with was USA ebay. Somebody living in Azusa, CA.

Have confirmed my bid but it appears the person does not want to send it to the UK....................sh*t!

So, I am doing the last thing I can think of and that is appealing to somebody on this site to help me.

What I need is some kind/helpful/saint to agree to having the parcel sent to their home and then forwarding to mine in the UK. Obviously I will arrange to pay via Paypal to that person or sort out the money in some way.

What more can I say...............apart from please.

No problem, Clockwork. I will be happy to do it.

I have to go the the post office and do international mailings anyway (some "Secret" stuff for February, if you know what I mean) so I can do it for you.

Hey Jo, that was such a very kind offer.

That is what makes sites like this so very special, rarely do people judge you, probably as they do not know you.

You are a complete stranger to me and yet you are prepared to help me out like this.

BTW..............I have had a peep on your website before, your paintings are amazing.


May you go through life without any punctures.............http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Missbe/horse.gif

Only a few minutes before receiving your kind offer, I received a PM from my SS..................Snapdragon, yup, she is going to help me out.

Thanx again.

Sally

[Bluetree]

No problem, m' dear.

And just to correct you, I did indeed already judge you. I was thinking, "What kind of yahoo calls soccer... FOOTBALL!" :D

I would have done it too, but i'm not as fast as Blue..

[Triskeliongirl]

So would I! Its neat that our community is helpful this way. I was in the same situation once with a bike part that I desperately needed, but the seller would only ship to a UK address. I wasn't able to buy it, but later found a UK bike shop that had it and was willing to ship to the USA. SO does this mean we can open ourselves to international ebay shopping? Only on a womens forum........

Hey Mimi, I don't think either of us are as fast as Blue! Guess you gotta work harder at the gym.............http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Missbe/skeletonvoyk.gif

Anyway, real good of you to have answered and offered.

Cheers m'dear.

If you ever need anything in the future, no problem, just send me a PM and we can work something out.

Sellers who don't want to ship abroad http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Missbe/smilie_finger1.gif............aaaaaargh!

Hey roguedog

I remember you offering to help out once before, when one guy in the States did not know how to send a decal to me.

So, when I see a nice new MTB, I might get you to arrange the shipping for me! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hope things are good with you.

Received the parcel this morning, took it straight over to my son, he is soooooooooooooo pleased, also sends his thanx.

Anytime you want anything from the UK, (within reason).........just PM me, would give me a lot of pleasure being able to return the favour.......OK favor!

Glad he liked it! I received a little parcel myself! Thank you very much, it wasn't necessary - but so cute. If I can get a decent picture I will post it.
