Need someone in the US who would receive purchased items and redirect to India for a fee


Hi,

I am currently based in India on a long term contract. Often times, I miss out on attractive gears on eBay USA just because the sellers are not willing to ship overseas. Hence, I am looking for one or two persons / contacts who would receive the purchased items at their offices / homes and redirect them to India. Earlier, I had two such senior persons doing that job but because of age they are sadly kind of in debilitating conditions.

1. Any such contact information will be highly appreciated.
2. No bashing, please.
3. Kindly keep to the point.
4. Heartfelt thanks in advance to all respondents.
Kind regards, Mark

Just an FYI, I worked at eBay for a couple years in what is essentially the returns department and if you freight forward any purchase you lose all buyer protections. The seller could send you a bag of junk and you will not be able to return the item or get a refund.

We always checked for that and would deny/close buyer return requests all the time for forwarding.

Can I ride shotgun?

The expression "riding shotgun" is derived from "shotgun messenger", a colloquial term for "express messenger", when stagecoach travel was popular during the American Wild West and the Colonial period in Australia. The person rode alongside the driver. The first known use of the phrase "riding shotgun" was in the 1905 novel The Sunset Trail by Alfred Henry Lewis.[1]

Wyatt and Morgan Earp were in the service of The Express Company. They went often as guards—"riding shotgun," it was called—when the stage bore unusual treasure.

— Alfred Henry Lewis, The Sunset Trail, Chapter 14 [Wikipedia]

Dear Mr. curiousjim and Mr. dekay,

May be because of repeated instances of reported scams / frauds (originating from India) by the highly respected scam-baiters like Mr. Jim Browning (not his real name), Scammer Payback, Kitboga, Scambaiter, Scammer Revolts, et. al. you are genuinely concerned for the safety of the respondent. Please remain assured of the fact that I am not a scammer, rather a genuine regular man-in-the-street who earns a living with a day job in the Academic Administration (Registrar at a private fully English medium University).
Hope, this will clarify your doubts.
Kind regards, Mark
