Suspension to redo, I believe, they ask only 50 euros, wondering if this seller would ship them to Italy. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kenmoreguy89's LINK |

Well, gotta admit I always wanted a BD Whirlpool washer like this! All the Whirlpool I've met in my life over here were DD machines, not a fan of DD machines here.... Hope they does not have already sold it, 50 euros is so affordable and shipping should not cost so much from Germany. Thank you for good luck wishes, likely I'll need all them! LOL

Sorry, didn't know that you cannot enter in Subito.it if you're outside Italy, I'm sorry, thanks for letting me know.
Regarding "american" machines is Europe I can't tell much for other countries even if I found some also in France Spain and Romania and Eastern countries, but Italy apart of course UK is one of the EC countries where american agitator toploaders are quite common to be found. |

When it comes to shipping. EBay and similar sellers both in and outside of Germany either won't ship things out of it or won't send things to the place.
IIRC it has something to do with the high cost of sending anything that won't fit DHL's set post rates for certain boxes (weight and size limits),and various taxes one must pay for items sent into the country or things one wishes to take out. Again IIRC even household items like appliances are subject to some sort of tax if one wants to shift them about. Again this is all off the top of one's head but do know the few times one has had items sent from Germany that were eBay purchases the shipping was dear. Once won a very larg box of vintage waschpulver (IIRC it was a barrel of Ariel) and was let out of the auction by the seller after he got a shipping quote of >150 euros to send the thing to the States. |

Thank you so much Joe for the offer if pick it up,I likely will need your help, thank you so much, still not hearing from them, wrote two times but no reply...might you do the favor to call them for me? Just to see if this is still available? I cannot speak german so good as you already know. I already got a quote with Fedex, everything will cost about 340 euros (machine price included), shipping cost is of 294 euros, not a Crazy cost at all considering is the average price for an used american machine over here , I'm interested in the washer only as long as the dryer is electric and I will not use electric dryers anymore. |

Since the age of jets replace ocean liners for crossing the Atlantic and most every where else overseas for that matter, nearly a majority of postal,UPS, Fedex or whatever shipping goes that route. While this is fine for letters, parcels and small packages after a certain weight to size dimenson of the box things either become very expensive or simply cannot be shipped.
IIRC DHL (Germany post) is about 7kg (25kg?)or something regardless of if one is using their boxes or one's own. There are shipping companies including IIRC UPS that still use ships, but then you are usually speaking about freight rates which is a whole other ball game. Up until what? The 1960's or so when persons moved house overseas via ship they often brought all manner and sort of large appliances with them. This is the reason one finds "odd" German or other appliances in the United States that never were sold here. Today the only persons able to do this because of cost are those moving house on someone else's money such as military or employer transfers. Even then there *might* be some restrictions. US embassy staff and military being sent on overseas postings are advised to leave heavy household appliances here and purchase whatever is required upon arrival. Due to the voltage differences this often makes sense, though some still do bring things back and forth and run them off converters. Am told one of the best places to find appliances is near any military base as servicemen unload stuff they cannot or should not take back to the states. |

Actually, not for me, well I'm obviously closer than USA to Germany and I'm into EC , never a problem buying "waschpulver" or any thing from ebay Germany, BTW as we're in the speech I give you a suggestion if happens to do not absolutely buy Max powder and Maxxi powder from ebay in Germany, they're all about filler and soda.....and liquid is just thick water!
I have so reason to believe this is a rip off made on purpose to get the $$$$ , remain the fact that every time I had to fight so much to have the difference back after months and thousands calls and mails, DHL customer service in Italy is something terrible, very rude, I promised myself to avoid it in future, unfortunately some US shops keeps using DHL only for shipping to Europe.

Overseas shipping really reached unbelievable costs, for many reasons, USPS and USA is still way more economical than much of the European Postal services, Royal Mail do have the better prices I've seen in this continent and an impeccable service.
A huge box of about 12 kg ships to Germany for 87$ with priority if you buy stamp online. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kenmoreguy89's LINK |

Normally get my EU detergent fixes from France which has slightly better postal rates and is no where near as fussy about custom fees as DHL (German post). Recently also had some Persil Hygiene Spüler sent from Belgium and even there shipping wasn't *that* bad.
To some extent can understand the problems of national postal services as they are subject to the whims and demands of commercial airlines. Fedex and UPS along with other private shippers do have their own fleet of planes but IIRC for some deliveries whole or part goes through a local postal service. Many eBay shippers on this side of the pond simply will not ship to Germany. For their part Germans selling things on eBay or elsewhere won't ship either. It's local pick-up or perhaps work out your own arrangements but again if you want something larger than a bread box, forget it. *LOL* Oh the detergent in question was a vintage huge barrel of Ariel from the days of "Clementine" Am guessing it was so heavy as the soap is laden with washing soda. Seller was nice enough to let me out of the auction without dinging my eBay feedback, so that's me for you. Being as all this may have found eBay sellers in Germany willing to ship large appliances. I had my Kaltmangel shipped from there. It arrived damaged but that is another story,(damn fool seller/shipper poorly packed the thing). Also awhile back when that nice minty Miele twintub was on offer asked the seller for a shipping quote to the USA, which he provided. Yes, it was dear, very dear but for something that rare in interesting would have been worth a go. However memories of my damaged Kaltmangel were too fresh to get me out on that limb again. *LOL* |

Freddy thank you for saving that for me.Lets plan for the next month Febuary. I have had to get somethings taken care of this month.I agree with you any time you can use Fed Ex i would never had a problem with them sometimes they just look crazy when i tell them what I am going to ship but that is fine I am.I am getting together somethings for you I have dryer sheets and I will start looking for store brand detergents as that is what you wanted if there is a change just let me know.The only issue I have encountered with Fed Ex is when you ship be sure that you mke sure that they know it is a gift because the youn lady did not understand I almost had to pay a customs fee.I will e-mail you through here soon. I I have always told you if you need something here from the US if I can help then just let me know I will do what I can.Carl Oh by the way I think that I can get the BIG BUCKETS of Sears detergent in West Memphis Sears if you want to pay the cost of having it shipped then let me know and I will see if I can get it still I bought 3 of then last year 2 for a friend and 1 for me I love the buckets.

Thank you again Carl, I gotta admit that if I buy this machine I will probably "scrape the bottom of the piggy bank" so I think I will have money destinated for a detergent exchange just around end of March, hope it is fine for you. Talk soon. |
