Title: Anybody here live in the USA ?
Post by: interest on May 28, 2013, 10:10:19 PM
Is there anybody living in the USA here, that would be willing to receive a pair of Levis jeans & send them on to Australia for me.
The reason.. levis cost $A50 inc posting to an address in USA
The same jeans will cost over $109 here in Australia.
Why the hell is that??
But not only the price I have more size options.
I of course will repay all expenses.

Hi interest,
Where abouts are you ?
Costco has Levis 501's for under $50.
The colour range may not be as extensive as a jeans shop, but I think size wise they have a fair range.

And, you should go to USPS website and check what they charge for the postage cost to send on to Australia. They are not quite as bad as AP for international post but, not far off!
My daughter lives in San Diego and may be willing to do it. But you might have to wait until she is posting something to us and we can send on. At the end of the day I suspect negligible, if any, cost saving and a long wait.

There are a couple of Oz. Co.'s that will arrange delivery for you,one of them is a Woman who works out of her home and arranges delivery from her Sister in the USA so her costs are very reasonable.A Google may find them as i lost her contact details a year or 2 back.

Edit..not sure what these people are like...http://www.priceusa.com.au/
