Any of you that have dealt with Numrich would know that they ceased international shipping in April this year
April 5th email: "Unfortunately, as a result of regulatory constraints and the cost associated with handling export shipments, we can no longer service all other international sales. All such sales are being discontinued and the accounts will be closed."
I've been chasing some pieces to repair some of my milsurps and having zero luck finding anything elsewhere. My account was never closed, so I would go in every month or so, load up the cart and hope they'd changed their policy, to no avail. So when OzPost told me they were setting up the forwarding service so we could have a US "address" I thought I'd take a chance.
I ordered the bits I need and used the address in the US, although it's fairly obvious it's a forwarding service. But from the advice from Numrich that they only ceased international trading for reasons of logistics I couldn't see why they would care.
This is the response I received this morning:
"Dear Sir and/or Madamn,
Please be advised we do not accept any order paid for with a foreign credit card with a shipping address in the USA. We have therefore cancelled your order. Please note we do not accept mailed in payments for these orders or changing cc information.
In Addition *** once an account is identified as being international and/or paying with an international card we will no longer accept an order as we are no longer honoring international orders/shipments.
We kindly ask that you do not attempt to reorder. If you attempt to reorder and your order is canceled you will not be notified
The authorization on your cc has been voided as we are not processing or charging your card.
NUMRICH GUN PARTS CORPORATION"
So, it seems to me they simply will not ship outside the US regardless of how easy we can make it for them logistically.
Does anybody know of another source of milsurp parts that will ship to Oz?
Or does anybody have a contact in the US that would be happy to order about US$40 worth or items for me and then post them on to me (obviously happy to pay them for their time)?
