dirt cheap 120mm fans, I'm thinking of buying a few of those with ball bearing (other is sleeve bearing, but they aren't so durable)

they usually don't ship to belgium, but I let the stuff be shipped to a friend in germany. when it's all there he's going to send it to me. transport costs a bit, but it's dirt cheap over there

Why don't they ship to Belgium?

29th April 2004, 23:05

it's not like in the US: selling other countries comes with more hassle and shipping is more expensive. they prolly do want to ship to belgium (bought one thing, and they charge a lote more for shipping)

buying at ebay is pretty annoying, those fagheads start bidding the very last seconds of an auction :grum:

TeuS,
I've been member since 1998. Wish I had bought the stock back then, would have been a multi-millionaire now.

TumOr is right, wait til the last two minutes and only bid with the price you want to pay in the last 30 seconds.

I ship to many places outside U.S. Normally for Air Mail; about 2 lbs weight (0.9X kilogram); $12 to Europe, $14 to Asia and $16 to Australia. So, it depends on what you are buying.

how reliable is shipping in general? (read: how often do they lose the package?)

I'm wondering if my friend should either ship it to me either with UPS (25€) or with normal shipping (14€)

btw, what do you think of cases like these:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...7024 609&rd=1

I have no case for my main PC and I want one. I'm sick of those crappy midi/maxi cases because they're either too expensive, or they don't fulfill my needs.
so I thought of buying a 19" rack case: it's not very expensive, it's easy to carry and I can put all my stuff on top of each other (I might buy a 2nd one for my linux machine)

You could always go to www.usps.com to find out the exact shipping cost.

I've never lost a package in 8 years.

US postal services? are they international?

Sidney · 30th April 2004, 16:23

Yes, I ship to Australia, U.K. Japan, and you. The website walks thru all packages in size; weight.

As long as you know the zip code of ship from in the U.S. you could figure the shipping cost almost 99% accuracy.

"Yes, I ship to "
"As long as you know the zip code of ship from"

I meant of course, can we send something FROM .BE to US with USPS ?

I think you are mixing up USPS with UPS www.ups.com ; the service TeuS mentioned
