Looking for Helps on Shipping MREs

Post by derek8402 » Wed Sep 18, 2013 11:12 am

HI, Im looking for some MREs, the military one to ship to Hong Kong.
I would like to have 2 cases, 1case A and 1B. (or maybe 2A 2B if I can afford it)
Is there any way I can get it cheaper? Cuz most of the ebay sellers wont ship to HK
and the lefts cost extremely high shipping fee.
Welcome for any kinda information. Cheers!

First of all, welcome to forums.

I wouldn´t mind to send to you, as long as you cover s&h.
Via DHL, a single case of MREs (up to 10kg (20lbs) ) is €59 (=~$80) + the price for the case.

How´s about HK costums?

Right, the delivery for a single (!) case is with DHL GER -> HK $80. The average price for a case over here (at ebay.de) is also ~ €60 (=~$80). That´s $160 for a single case incl. shipping.

We have to "strip" the case a little bit as they are usually a little bit over 10kg.

If do you want two, DHL ships up to 20kg (two "stripped" cases packed in one) for €89 (=~$120) + the two cases= $240

No problem - you are welcome.

If do you want just "some", I can send you up to 5kg for €42 (=~$57) + the MREs.

Ops - my fault... :oops:

DHL delivers up to 20kg for $120.
A single case of MREs is $80 so it´s $160 for 24 MREs + shipping = $280

Your not going to find any for less than housil is offering, its the nature of shipping heavy stuff.

Maybe look for an army base/commissary in your area
