Last Resort Request from someone in Australia

manuntguy3 — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:50:03 GMT

Hello,

I have kind of an interesting story and a huge request from you. First off I am from the United States. I have been looking to buy a certain hat that my son has wanted for atleast a year. We could not find it anywhere searching almost everyday for a year. Finally, as I was doing some Christmas shopping I finally came across one on the internet and I was so so excited only to find out it was Australian site and they wouldn't ship it to anywhere else. So as a last resort I have found all the australian ebayers I could and asked them as I am asking you for a HUGE favor. If you could buy the hat for me and ship it to the states I would be forever greatful. I know this sounds like some type of sketchy scam but I am honestly just doing everything possible to get this hat for my kid. Please reply and we could work something out. I would be willing to pay handsomely for your efforts ontop of the cost of the hat and shipping.

Have you asked the seller if they would be willing to sell to you.

Tell them what you have told us and see if they will allow the sale.

Hi, I'm happy to buy it and send it to you for nothing, just pay what it costs for the mailing.

If you want to message me through ebay, I'll give you my paypal address to send the payment for the hat.

Cheers

Catherine.

He has recently emailed me via Messages about the same thing.

Yes no worries someone can buy it for you and take a risk and hope you'll pay for it - not.

I'll pay for it before it is even sent. It's no risk to you, only me.

Can I ask what the difference is between the two hats, except perhaps one is black and the other navy? They look the same to me.

Mate,

You contacted O'Neill Australia on

Sat 1/12/2012 6:51 PM

It's the weekend, we are at the beach.

You then post here on Sun 2/12/2012 5:50 PM

Still at the beach.

So we haven't had an opportunity to reply to your request, which is out of our normal scope. I am trying to sort something out for you but no promises.

John

All of this fuss over a cap ? I've thought it might at least be an Akubra......
