Default Anyone from the US or have rellatives there? need your help

Hiya peeps, I'm currently trying to purchase a small item from the US but the seller on eBay doesn't send to the UK so was wondering if someone could buy it for me and I pay them and then send to me?

It's only a carbon fibre fascia to fit around the GC8 clock, so something very small.

I've had a look everywhere for this certain one and can't find it anywhere.

Can someone help please?

Thank you.

Yeah I use it now and again. It's $15 to set it up but you get that refunded off your first delivery.

Great idea but a £72 cost for £100 worth of car parts with the item at 40cm x 30cm x 15cm max weight 1kg, Might work out better if you spend more but thats inc of all costs :/

It is a bit annoying that they only use Fedex as they are the most expensive, but they are the most reliable and clear customs the quickest.

Andaru let me get this right, so you pay $15 when you sign up and get that refunded on your first order, what happens after that when your buying something else? How does it charge you? Does the delivery be expensive?
