Hi all.

I'm posting from South Africa, and we don't have very many local hobby stores so I usually order online. Our beloved South African Post Office has however been on strike for the last three months, burning and trashing mail and as a result our postal system has basically collapsed.

As a result i am looking for an online hobby shop that can ship via courier ( FEDEX, UPS or DHL) but it seems that this is not offered by most hobby shops, probably because of the high price.

Does anybody know of any hobby stores that offer courier shipping?

Thanks!

Der Sockelshop in Germany usually offer courier shipping.

I would say some of the big US stores probably do as well.

Hi Mike, i have heard about your post strike, My shop ships with DHL so a courier shipment should be no problem. Just call me, here is my link:http://www.berndmm.de/en/
Payment with the South African currency is also possible.

All the Best

Bernd
