Need some part from usa

[Mrtickel]

Hello
I have been brewing for a while now and i found a way that i can modify the heinkein mini kegs to be reuse but i need a 2 peice bung and can not get them here in ireland but midwestsupplies have them and for me to get the shipped by currier would probably cost 30 or 40 euro and bung on cost 95 cent.
I was woundering could someone purchase 2 of them for me in the states and send them to me and i could pay you through paypal transfer the money to your account for the item and shipping.
If someone could let me no how much it would cost to post 2 of them to ireland it would be great.
Thanks

about $70.00 to ship a 1/2 lb package through UPS.

I ship via USPS Priority I'd guess it would cost around $25-30. Could you link to what you're referring to?

This sounds like a scam to me. Why not just have midwest ship directly to you? How would having someone else ship it be cheaper?

Hey mr. tickel, I spent a few days in longford last year. Great town. Nice people.

I went to UPS put in 1/2 lb package shipped from West Columbia, SC to Longford, Ireland and got a price of 70.00.

USPS small flat rate box to ireland shows $12.78, if it will fit in a box 1-5/8" thick.

Because midwest use a company called bongo to ship there items internationaly and i never heard of this company so dont want to use my credit card with a company i never heard of.

And here is a link to wat im looking for
http://www.midwestsupplies.com/rubber-mini-keg-bung.html

If someone has used bongo before please let me no if they are good or bad for shipping items internationaly and if they are good ill register with them.

There has got to be somewhere closer to you that carries the part you're looking for. It's not like you're in Nigeria for christs sake... or are you?

 

[KCBrewer]

It's $.95 ea + $5.05 usps shipping to me, so $6.95 + $12.78 priority mail to you, $19.73 total. If you cover the paypal fees I'll do it for you. I ship a lot of stuff anyways, so no big deal. Paying $20 for two $.95 bungs sucks for you though. Just send me a pm and i'll give you my paypal address if you want to go ahead with it.

I'm sure they'd ship to you. Give them a call or send them an e-mail and see if they have the parts you're looking for.
