Hi Guys,

if any of you have tried to buy from a USA webiste and strike problems with the issue that they will only sell to you if you have a USA address then this could be for you:

NZ post now has a service where they provide you with a USA address and will post onto you at a really reasonable rate:

I have just tried it tonight and I'll let you know how I get on:

here is their link:

hi guys Remember if you are buying a minelab or a USA made detector out of the USA you may have to send it back there for warranty if it has a problem ///// exkiwi

my package arrived today safe and sound. Not a bad service. One kilo box cost me $NZ33 or so. The package itself was postage free within the USA ex Kellyco.

Downside was that NZ Post lost my package within the depot for two weeks or so. When they did find it they appologized and discounted the postage by 10%. Then it came here real quick. Overall it was a satisfactory service.

I was a bit worried for a few days when they couldn't find it. I knew they had it as I tracked the package from kellyco to Orlando.

Part of the problem was it was around black friday in the States one of the largest shopping days in their year.

NZ post was overwhelmed with packages for a week or so.

I will use it again.

Good point about warrenties though. A risk one has to weigh up.
