Ordering toys from America - who will ship to UK?

Does anyone know of any websites based in America who will ship toys to the UK? I'm trying to get my daughter "wake me up spaniel". I saw it advertised on telly (once) but have never been able to find it in the UK however nearly all american toy websites have it reasonably priced at $24.99. I've no idea how much shipping would cost but I can't find any that will ship it to UK.

    Do you know anyone with a US address that could receive the parcel and then ship it to you as a gift?
    I think one of the reasons they don't ship toys overseas is due to the warranty.
    Also it might be worth contacting Vivid Imaginations who deal with Rescue pets in the UK as they may know if they will be imported nearer xmas.
    I guess it is you with a wanted ad on Ebay, which is a good idea. Have you tried ebay.com this seller has one(not spaniel tho')http://cgi.ebay.com/Rescue-Pets-Alarm-Clock-Wake-me-Up-Golden-Retriever-NEW_W0QQitemZ260164934353QQihZ016QQcategoryZ232QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and does ship to uk, there is also a spaniel ending in a couple of days but you would need to ask if they will ship to the UK.
    HTH
    Good luck!
  • I was going to suggest ebay.com, searching for 'rescue pets clock' brings up a few, if you scroll down a little to the marketplace there is somebody selling a spaniel (I think) for ~$35 who definately ships to the UK as theres the facility to calculate P&P, somewhere in the region of ~$42 (or $50+ for express shipping). Other sellers indicate they offer international p&p but have to be contacted for rates.

    They do look cute, better not show my DD she would probably want one as well:D

    Hello

    I go to Florida on Sunday YIPPEE. So if you want me to I can get you one from Walmart and bring it back. Let me know if its only the spaniel you want as there are other breeds as well.
    PM me and we can sort out the details.

    You could try this service:

    http://www.fromus2eu.com/

    Not used it myself but seems reasonable.
    Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere......
  • I too am going to Florida on Sunday :) Sorry to hijack the thread, lol...
  • I'm using a company called www.overeasy.co.uk to get some shoes for Mrs Governor, they seem pretty good communications-wise, and they went to a bit of trouble finding the shoes too.

    Apparently they'll ship today, so assuming they survive the trip through the Postal strike :mad: I'll let you know.

    :beer:

    We're going Manchester to Tampa via Chicago, what about you?
  • Folks, please remember the £18 import limit if you are looking at purchases more costly than the $24.99 which started this thread.
