Looking for purchase buddy/straw buyer in Taiwan

[jchung30]

Is there a movie fan living in Taiwan that can help with local movie purchases? I'm looking for help in buying a few Blu-ray movies off of tw.bid.yahoo.com or other local stores or auction sites.

So you are not left holding the bag, I would be happy to pre-pay you via PayPal for the cost of the movies, shipping, and your time.

Full disclosure, I did find a helpful friend off blu-ray.com. He recently moved to Taiwan and was willing to help, but with the understanding that I would make the purchase, have it sent to his house and he would re-ship to me. The orders could not be placed because his "identity card number / foreign uniform number" and his mobile number format would not be accepted on the store websites.

So, in a nutshell, is there anybody willing to accept payment in advance, purchase the movies locally in Taiwan, and ship them to me? FYI, I have purchased movies using this method with friends in Brazil, Norway, Mexico, Switzerland, and Poland, and would be happy to supply references. Check out my itrader score.

Thanks for hearing me out and hope you can help,
Jason

Not in Taiwan, but any specific titles you're looking for?

You could try reaching out to jsdvd http://dvd.jsdvd.com/index.php?language=us (email in footer) but I've no idea if they would be willing to help...and also there are probably re-shippers if you Google, albeit likely a bit more costly than an individual.

Mostly out-of-print Blu-ray titles that are no longer at the stores in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia or Japan, but are available on the auction sites. I checked out jsdvd--- very nice site. Unfortunately none of the titles I'm looking for are there.

Thanks, but no hits. Still, appreciate these new mail order joints-- bookmarked both.
