Mediashelving cases... HELP!!!... Maybe the problem is finally solved... Or not;

[tiktektak]

Hello again!

The neverending story part 5 or 6...

This is the last email I got today:

"Everyone other at the post office says it is going to be around the same cost. I
made a request with a Postal Agent on Friday and am awaiting for her
reply."

I think that will be the last mail I'll receive... Ahhhh... I suppose lucks not on my side....

That is unfortunate to hear.

It's me again!

There's no news from videoshopperinc... Maybe I was making to much ruckus so they thought to rather leave me alone then having any more trouble with me.... 

But mediashelving(which I also inquired) wrote me an email and told me about a way to ship internationally.... That's what they wrote me:

If you require a shipping quote for 200 - 50755. Please supply your city state and zip code. We will supply the weight etc in the shipping quote.
 
The weight per (100) carton is  20.50lbs. Size  5.25"x15.25"x11.25"
 
Due to logistics we do not get involved with shipping products overseas.  Ship with US and Canada
 
However, we just received information on a company that does take care of these types of situations. 
 
We have had no prior business dealings with them and are not affiliated in any way.  As such, you should do your own research on their company first.

I do not really understand what they are or what they do?
Do you think they're usefull for a private person or rather for companies?
Maybe I should just send them an email with my problem and ask if they could help?

Here's something wshbrngr told me. I PM'ed you but I guess it didn't get through to you.

I think I see the problem with the shipping. I believe Videoshopper probably ships UPS (That is what Mediashelving does). I went to the UPS site and it gave me a quote for a case of the universal game cases of $288.00 to Austria    (about the same to Germany)
However, the USPS website quoted me $34.05 to Germany (4-6 weeks) or $73.00 (4-10 days) or $171.00 global express (1-3 days) (about the same to Austria)
So, you are probably going to have to try to get Videoshopper to send via U.S. postal service -or- have someone order and then forward them to you.

I suppose you ask TheVideoshopper first (since they ship internationally) about the possibility of shipping via U.S Postal. If they do, I think it'd be a pretty good deal. $73 for 4-10 days is like ~55-60 Euro. I bought Karaoke Revolution Party for Gamecube via eBay USA and I was charged $27 for shipping and waited 3 weeks So $73 for a much bigger package and a much quicker delivery sounds like a steal

Hey kaiserwave!

I got your PM thank you very much for your care!

I emailed them(videoshopper) right away(1PM) on friday after your PM and didn't get any reply
until now. I know it's weekend but they almost always replied at the same day so I thought they don'T consider replying me...
Maybe on monday or tuesday I'll get word from them but I fear not...

Thanks again Kaiserwave for your concern!

Regards

My pleasure
Besides when they give in due to your persistency it's good for me, too. Once you finally have your cases I think I'll order mine. By this time, they'll just ship them to me the way I want because they don't want to argue anymore

Seriously, I hope you get your answer AND your cases. If they don't answer just keep bugging them.

People on this board! Today it's a snowy day here in austria but my heart is shining with joy and excitement! I still can't believe what happened today. It's like a miracle. It's a wonderful happening and I want to share the love with everyone.

No my girlfriend didn't get pregnant.
No my boss in work didn't promote me.
No I didn'T win the big jackpot.

BUT

after almost a month of inquiries and questioning and hoping and begging....
I got this email from TheShopperInc regarding shipping of 200 cases with USPS ground.... :

They want 47.44 total all together!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that's I'd say a reasonable shipping quote! The only little problems are that it's neither insured nor trackable and is shipped(verbatim) and will be veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow.... But who cares?
If I get my cases for this shipping price I'll be happy to wait for 2 month if necessary!

Ok I think I've talked enough! 
Just wanted to share my happiness.

Regards Sebastian

P.S. I hope they don't back-down after all...................
