He's full of baloney. He probably already sold the player to another buyer at a higher price and did not want you to know. Buying from Europe is routine and FedEx International Air is a good choice but it will cost you but its worth it to avoid damage rather than shipping ground via boat.
question on shipping a cd player from overseas??
Just checking as I purchased a cd player here on agon from a seller in Portugal- Seller said he could not ship me the player as in portugal you need a Commercial invoice to ship and since he is a private individual there was no way of shipping to the USA??? so he refunded my money- Just checking to see if this makes sense to everyone or is it buyers remorse- thanks
