International Shipping from Canada to Australia - big problem

Hi,
I am looking at buying a turntable off eBay Canada but the seller only seems to ship to Canada and the USA. Are there people or service to act as third party shippers?

That is, is there a service where the turntable is shipped to the service which then on forwards it to Australia - for a price.

I used to buy motorhome parts from the USA this way although, in that case the third party shippers were integrated into the suppliers' web page. At the checkout, you would click on international, a shipping estimate was generated and if you accepted it you were whisked to the shipper's page, you entered details and then paid. Seemed to work quite well and meant that the supplier didn't have to worry about all the complexity.

The countdown is on

Any help greatly accepted.

Regards
Bob
BTW, I am going to post this on a few different sites.

I use them a lot to get stuff to Hong Kong from the USA. Do a good job.

Hello,

I have signed up with one through Australia Post. It appears that this is a service used by a number of national postal carriers. The postal carriers deliver within the destination country. The US end consists of a giant warehouse in Oregon and the international carriage. Tthe service gives you a unique mailing address within the warehouse, this is your USA address. It is not cheap, but most seem to charge about the same rate. I am waiting for all of my packages to turn up in the warehouse so I can get a discount on the overall carriage costs.

Regards,
Robert

Sounds like what I use. Best of luck.
 
Ask them to enroll in ebay global shipping. They only have to ship to a ebay shipping center. Although don't know if that works for Canada
