WTB: Want to evade high shipping prices on LiPo's!

Post by Crapload »

Me and a friend is close to the end of a portable n64 project and need some LiPo's from batteryspace.com. We have decided on what we will be needing; 3 lipo's (11.1V pack), corresponding pcb, a fuel gauge and a smartcharger!

We have 1 nintendo each so we would need to order double. When filling the shoppingcart and clicking checkout we were informed that UPS charges 130$ for shipping to norway and the products stacked up to 180$, a total of 310$!!! Is that anywhere near what US residents would pay?

We were wondering if anyone living in the US will be able to buy what we need and ship it to us here in Norway for less than 310$

Thanks a bunch in advance for any response:)

They are the cheapest and the solution to your issues. You ship your products there and then they will forward it to your home address for a fee. I use them for my online shopping and they are pretty good. Also, you get to choose between DHL, FedEx, and uPs for the same shipping rate :wink:

I took a shipment for JariV and sent forwarded it to him. He saved around $100 on shipping. PM me if you're interested. Shipping (to me) will cost around $10 or less, and shipping to you (USPS) will cost around $20-$30. You won't be charged any customs, agent, or broker fees, either.

If you get caught shipping Li-po's by airplane you will be in big trouble. Yikes !!!

I think it's easy to get away with it being in a device but start doing it a lot and maybe not such a good idea.

yeah, I've only done it once before. They are very small, though, but I do understand and appreciate your concern/warning.
