Mail order to Africa...?

[OmlessWanderer]

Hello!

I have a friend who is in Togo, West Africa, with the Peace Corp. and her radio broke. I was hoping that with the international community on this forum, someone might be able to point me to a website that is based closer to her then I am(usa) so I can get as reasonable a price on shipping as possible.

I'm looking to send her a Grundig shortwave radio(the kind with the hand crank) but anything with batteries would work fine also.

If you know of an online retailer that will ship to Africa either from Africa or from Europe or have advice on the matter, please respond!

Thanks!

Yes, I think you have to have a discussion with your local post office and therefore I'm sure you will get much information and get it settled.

I would call the Peace Corps (800.424.8580) and ask for info.

These guys seem to import from the region and they do international shipping, so you could try them http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/ad...ind+up+radio&gclid=CL7Q5dWt34wCFRWOEgod00oe7w
