Cunning Fox Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Does anyone know how I can get a fur coat shipped to NZ? I recently bought one on eBay, but the delivery (via Global Shipping Program) was stopped and a refund given (I don't want the refund, I want the fur coat!). I'm hoping I can contact the seller and see what can be done, and thought maybe someone here would know how to get it shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 There are several companys shipping worldwide,but i use mainly UPS for that. https://www.ups.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurman Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I use Borderlinx to ship items from the US. It gives you a US address to which sellers in the US can ship the goods. And then they will ship to you. Check it out at borderlinx.com. They have a calculator with which, given the package dimensions and the weight, you can estimate how much it will cost. It is quite fast but may not be the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxlover69 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have bought a few furs from the US and all i do is check an ask the sellers first about shipping to NZ..usually it will say if they ship internationaly or not...hope you have better luck..

Cunning Fox Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks for the advice. I have found a lot of good information else where and I'm now trying to get the coat sent back to the seller so they can ship it directly to me. eBay US and the Global Shipping Program don't seam to want to help with this though, but I have had contact with eBay UK and they have been a lot more help, although the coat is still not returned to the seller as yet. I'll update (hopefully with a good outcome) what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love for fur Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I was reclined shipping to Sweden due Global Shipping program didn't allow fur coats, so the seller didn't accept it. However, I'm pretty sure most of the couriers ship internationally... Why the fuck wouldn't they. I'm pretty sure you could send with your regular post office if they can ship internationally. So it's only ebay shipping program that's a hassle I think. But remember your own laws for import and be ready to pay the tax... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Fox Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Well I have done about as much as I can to get the fur coat (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-custom-made-full-length-crystal-fox-fur-coat-/262307398202?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=dgweb1G0unNGo%252BtSPmQdOr07YHg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc) I purchased to be shipped to NZ, but eBay and their Global Shipping Program are not willing to make it happen. Basically what happens is that eBay acts as an intermediate owner and takes care of shipping of goods through their Global Shopping Program. When they see an item they don't want to ship, they stop it and the whole deal falls over. The buyer is refunded, the seller is paid and eBay keeps the item and there is little that can be done. I have sent countless e-mails to eBay to get them to send the coat back to the seller so they can arrange alternative arrangements for shipping, but they refuse to do so. The answers I have had from them are a complete smokescreen to stop people finding out what is really going on. I am almost convinced there is a legal case to be had here if anyone wants to look into it message me and I can send through all my findings. My advice to all is do not use eBay's shipping program for anything if you really want the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzmink Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That is extremely odd. You have to be careful of furs that might breach CITES regulations such as Lynx, and also import duties might be due depending on local regulations but if none of these were breached, then the sending to you should not have been a problem.

Love for fur Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Haha! Yeah. That's terrible! Bastard coated bastards with bastard fillings! No surprise that a very big company can do whatever they want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Fox Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I've not totally given up on this (as it was a very good buy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-custom-made-full-length-crystal-fox-fur-coat-/262307398202?nma=true&si=dgweb1G0unNGo%252BtSPmQdOr07YHg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) and so have found my suspicions to be true. The contract is between the seller and eBay and is totally in eBay's favour. Sadly, I will never see this fur coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzmink Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I would have to say that without a decent explanation this is truly odd. I must admit that I am now looking to see if any coats of interest are through this scheme. If I am interested I would ask the seller if they would ship not using the ebay scheme.

I'm not a great fan of it to start with from other purchases I've made where the "tracking" (their term, not mine) is utterly woeful compared to FedEx, DHL, UPS and the like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
