SHIPPING FROM EUROPE
« on: December 20, 2010, 12:11:36 AM »
The Hen and I are going to Europe this summer. We will be gone 20 days---flying into Budapest and takeing a River Boat to Amsterdam.
I plan on shipping gifts and other stuff we purchase home as we move on thru the trip---I don't want the extra luggage and hassel.
Has anyone here done this and can any give us some tips to make this easier?
Blessings

I would have the seller handle the shipment, and I would pay for it with an American Express card if they still have that money back guarantee and if it applies to purchases in Europe.
The difference between people who do stuff and people who don't do stuff is that the people who do stuff do stuff.

WL I'd advise you NOT to ship that stuff from Amterdam.  ;)
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Yeah, you might want to watch several episodes of Nat Geo's "Locked Up Abroad" before your trip.

What happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam.
I got more friends asking me----I just say NO!
Fedx looks handy---I am checking with the Viking

Bring us back a surprise....a live bird or a fish or something like that.

Also, just before she went on a cruise, my aunt announced in a mass e-mail, with her real name, that said she'd be gone from one date to another.
Good thing computer hackers and burglars don't know each other.
