Title: Forwarding address for parcels from Brazil?
Post by: *CountessA* on June 13, 2011, 06:17:18 PM
I'm having trouble with an order I want to make from a Brazilian seller who won't sell outside Brazil. Has anyone any information on parcel fowarding services in Brazil which will forward a parcel to me in Australia?

Countess, is the listing on eBay? If so, you may be able to use HopShopGo which is owned by PayPal. I have used them for US sellers but they may be able to do the same for Brazil. They have the standard mail forwarding service but also a 'shop for me' service and charge (I think) 10% plus the shipping costs.

No, it's not on eBay. It's a publisher in Brazil. I don't think they accept PayPal - I haven't checked, because I always for preference use my card.

But I'll check HopShopGo, just in case this publisher does accept PayPal.

Agh. HopShopGo is only applicable to the US rather than to Brazil. So far I cannot seem to find a mail forwarding service from Brazil... but I'll keep looking.

If it were a boyfriend, I'd be worried about having breathing holes in the packaging... but since I'm not, clearly it's not a Brazilian boyfriend.

No... seriously, I'm trying to get some Portuguese books. We're not talking about large crates, just a small parcel. I have still not found a mail forwarding service from Brazil...  :musing: :waiting: :help: :dummyspit: :doa:
