Been buying on Amazon for a few years now, items are usually shipped out of US. No problems with them, just keep an eye on the shipping costs.

I usually purchase items that are "shipped from and sold by Amazon" by preference, generally shipping costs are less.

Never had a problem and have been buying things off there for a while. You'll be fine.

Nope. Ordered a pair of Doc Marten shoes on a Thursday night. The ETA was the following Tuesday, which I laughed at, assuming it was a U.S. only estimate. Bugger me if they weren't here on the Tuesday.

They are very good to deal with, bought a lawn mower with a 22" cutting deck for like $300, only cost $130 shipping and it arrived in less than a week at my door.

I think they will deliver to PO Boxes, but the actual people on the ground here sometimes won't.

If they use DHL to deliver locally, no PO boxes, they give you a call and arrange delivery. Not an issue if you have an office.

I've used it and had no issue. As someone said, some stuff they won't sell here, if that's the case just use a freight forwarder.
