[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 497506, member: 4095"] The global shipping program is a wind up Mike and I've just had to go through it twice in a month and ended up having to pay two thirds of the total price of the item on the shipping and customs charge. This is just something that you have to factor in when buying from the US but every now and then something comes up that you just don't have any other option if you want it. It does sound like you would need to request a total amount with combined shipping and wait for the seller to send it through to you but it's hard to know what the shipping fee would be (shouldn't be much more at all then buying one item if it's light). Just so you know I bought an item at $30 with shipping at $22 and was charged around $11 customs up front. This should help you know what you'd be paying on one item if you won and then you can multiply these figures based on the items final cost and how many you might win. At least that would give you some idea if it's worth going for although the end shipping fee would have to be a bit of a guess. Hope that helps a bit but like you say you might be just as well waiting it out. Ian [/QUOTE]
