Getting UGC´s to Europe - US method of payment?

[SNES]

Hi guys...

Sorry if the topic discription is a bit cryptic, but I am not quite sure how to describe it.

I have found a courier service in the US to help me ship a carton of universal game cases, since non of the sellers ship outside the states. So I thought to my self that I was finally getting these cases after several years of dreaming. It turns out that it is quite advanced to pay for these darn things, the sellers all take VISA and MC, but apparently these cards are not international in the States, because all sellers claim that they can only take these cards if the owner is native to the US. I have talked to my bank and they say both types of cards works just fine all over the world.

Can you guys help me out here, because I am quite confused?
Are there other Europeans here who have found a way to order these?
Other helpfull comments and advice will be highly appreciated.

Just to be safe, I am not badmouthing the sellers nor the States.

Hope you can help me out here - I really want these cases.

Thanks.

Yes both are international.

I know because I've used my Finnish Visa Electron Depit card in USA (and Canada, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherland, Frances & Germany atleast).
I've also paid online to US shops with it.

Credit Card version should work even better.

Or PayPal the money to one of the trusted members here (any Cover Admin, Guru, or Wiggy or Zeanhaven (sorry if I forgot others )).

Maybe one of them can handle the payment part.

One of my go-to-places recently got these in stock.

Where do you live?

Arseen:That would be great if someone would help med regarding the payment, but it definitely would requiere one of the trusted members. Not that I think anyone here would deceive me.

Kriegspire: I live in Denmark. I have seen them in the UK, but they wont ship overseas and they cost way more than they do in the states including shipping.

Thanks.

Thanks Arseen . It is the thought that counts. 

I do hope there is a solution to this little problem.

There is one solutrion in the horizon... distant horizon at the moment.

Member here called Seymor Onion is making UGC like cases that house SNES manuals better.
He said he will ship worldwide.

No real estimate when the cases come out thought.
I'm waiting for those.

I have read about that. I am not going to wait for that to happen, it has been years in the making.
No, I'll just stick to the ugc's. If there is a will there is a way.

I've pm'd you the shop I was talking about... I don't know if it'll be cheaper, but I'm pretty sure they offer international shipping.

Thank you so much Kriegspire, it was really kind of you. 
Unfortunatly they are twice the price of the already expensive UK seller. :/

But thanks anyway, I really appreciate the help.

Yeah, they're pretty expensive. He must've bought an entire pallet I think. I live in the Netherlands, so shipping isn't too crazy for me.

[Kriegspire]

By the way, did you take into consideration that you'll have to pay import fees from countries OUTSIDE the European Union? That means the UK or the Netherlands are free of charge, but the US they'll charge an additional 21% (or whatever the rate is in your country)

I got it all under controle and have arranged everything With my courier, I just can't get to pay for the darn things. Even if i could get the UK Steller to ship them to me, I would still be paying more than double. I have planed this for af long time so i did my research, just didn't forsee the trouble regarding the payment.
