From overseas - best site to buy boxes from.

[Ehrencrona]

Hi all,

I´m in the mood of buying a bunch of boxes from either USA or Canada since boxes here in Sweden are a bit to pricy.

Could anyone recommend a site with

a) decent prices
b) shipping to Sweden available at a reasonable price
c) that would be willing to write down value in order to avoid customs.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Regards // Eric

At the moment in the USA, It costs exactly $9.04 to ship 101 Cards to Sweden, UK, Germany. A little more to Eastern Old Soviet Block Countries.

If I were you I would email or telephone Dave and Adams Card World in Buffalo, NY, or Atlanta Sportscards in Atlanta GA. Both easily found in google search. Ask them about shipping to Sweden, ask about if they could help out on lowering the customs declaration.

With Dave and Adam, if your order is large enough they may ship to Sweden for free.

The Canadian Card Shops that sell are notorious for Shipping Ripoffs. They often ship $8.00 packages to the US at between $14.00 and $20.00 USD.

You may find one or two that would ship to Sweden at a decent price. Naturally multiple orders are going to ship overall for less, but then you have that Customs dodge.

I'm a member on a Finnish forum where group orders from Dave & Adam's are held regularly. I don't usually take part in them, but it seems that everyone there thinks things work smoothly with D&A. Though I don't think they try to avoid paying customs for their orders, but I'd be surprised if they didn't at least get a good deal on the shipping.
