Facilitator for tyre to be purchased and shipped to Aust

[owly]

Wanting to purchase one Kenda Sabre Pro TR 27.5x2.6 tyre from the US Kenda online store and have it sent to Australia.

Hoping to find a facilitator here to purchase and land the tyre at their place, prior to packing/shipping to Aust. (Been looking for a while, but can't find anywhere else worldwide e.g. German shops, that have this size TR model in stock).

The Kenda shop site mentions free shipping -to US- if the order is above $50usd, so I would also purchase one tube from the store to get that over the line.

Have paypal.

If someone is willing, I could initially do Paypal cost to land at their place, then do a further Paypal once they work out the shipping cost options, and a little for their time.

Mods, move to Classifieds if should be in there. Thanks.

You just need someone to receive it, then ship it to you?
PM me, I'll do that for you.

Thanks. Sending you a PM now.

I would be happy to help but shipping from USA to anywhere else including Canada is expensive. I've seen things listed on ebay in Europe with shipping charges to USA no higher than those in the continental USA, but in the other direction cost is higher. I don't know if it would affect the shipping cost, but it might be lower cost to ship from a west coast address than one from the eastern half of the US.

I'm in Japan and it's for sale here but shipping will be expensive.

Logically, shipping from Japan should be a good option. That doesn't imply that it is....

Covid somehow made shipping everything 2-3X more expensive due to supply lines and the prices never went down again.

If it turns out that @makoti's shipping costs are too high, I'm happy to look into costs from the west coast and help out if it makes more sense. If you can provide estimated package dimensions (incl. weight) I can look it up online from PirateShip.

Thanks, all, for the help. Makoti is helping out atm.

I could have perhaps dug around Japan a bit more, as I tend to purchase from there often, due to fast shipping.
