Any USA residents willing to help me out with a bit of mail re-direction?
-
I am very keen to get hold of a Shaper Origin. (See link below).
For some obscure reason they are unwilling to ship to Australia.So If ordered one and had it sent to a USA address, would anyone be willing to send it on to me? It would be a simple matter of re-addressing and paying the freight, no re-packing required.
Of course I would cover all costs.And it's a lot of money for me, so ideally it would be a forum member that I have had interactions with over the years. (I started with V5 and joined this forum about 20 years ago!)
Is this a crazy idea?
I am pretty much retired but I still spend most of my time in the studio.
I have always been a tech-head as well as a traditional woodworker, but until the Shaper turned up, CNC has always been out of my reach.I would have a lot of fun with this piece of kit. (Currently, I am just beginning a Teardrop camper for a client, with mostly boat building techniques).
Cheers, Baz.
PS: I can only afford a refurbished unit, which is only available in the States.
PPS: I am fully aware of the difference in Voltages, that wont be a problem. -

Another option might be if someone from Oz is going to Basecamp, they could bring it back for you or organise the shipping while there.

Hey thanks Rich. I had no idea such a service existed.
Just signed up, got my address and then ordered the Shaper.
So, done deal. Fingers crossed.

Having fun with the Shaper. Here be a small example...usually Ellipses are a pain, not any more.
