Looking for a volunteer
« on: November 02, 2007, 07:02:38 AM »
Hello everyone,
                       I was wondering if someone on this board living in the United States could help me by buying some games from Turbo Zone Direct on my behalf and forwarding them to me in Japan.

                        I have also received the e-mail from TZD, and it sounds as if this may be my last chance to purchase some of the US games I am missing.  However, TZD can no longer process foreign credit cards, and I am living in Japan.

                        If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.  I could pay the person helping me using Paypal.

Which items do you want? You would have to pay me the shipping cost to get them to you from here, also. But I'm right on the west coast so it probably wouldn't be too much.

Yeah, I would also be interested in an American shipping buddy. I'm in Canada though.  :) Sucks they don't do international.  :cry:

I'm also willing to help out some non-US peeps.  Just remember: if you try to screw me, the next package I send you might be ticking.  :lol:

Well, actually I have the same request. I'm in France. There's a few games I've always wanted to purchase fromn TZD but I never could because of those shipping fees.
Unfortunately, Lords Of Thunder is out of stock. Interested in JB Harold Murder Club, John Madden and Sim Earth (and a Turboexpress if they still have some in stock). Would someone help me?

The TurboExpress have been taken off the list-- you can't buy those on deal, you have to pay full price ($249.99). They do have some left, however. JB Harold is gone (at least, it's not on the list anymore).

Damn. Well, it's OK if I can at least get John Madden and Sim Earth.

@shubibiman: If you can pay via Paypal and are fine with me sending it via USPS (insured), then PM me your explicit instructions.  I'll add your order to mine and send 'em out as soon as I get 'em.

Haha, it's so awesome to hear of someone in France that wants to import a John Madden game from America!  :mrgreen:

It's just because it's a Turbografx game that was never released in Japan and because of the lack of rugby sgames for our dear system :mrgreen:
