Welcome aboard, Ryan!

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Glad to see you here.  I'm also on YouTube, where I'm known as "tazcatsdad" (same as here).  And I still have the Mitsubishi hoover that I bought from you on eBay!</span>

Is it easy to send things to America from the UK? I only ever did it once and the buyer organised it all really. I had to send the goods to a company based in Dover and it was all done from there. But I had no other part to play. Only I have a relative visiting the U S A for six months and it would be good to send her a parcel or two during this time.

 

[ryry_87]

again I sent it to a third party person who passed it on to Bill so not too sure lol don't think its that difficult?

 

[vintagerepairer]

No problems, thanks for getting back to me. I'll keep investigating.

"Mitsubishi hoover" I wasn't aware there was such a thing! I knew Mitsubishi turned their hand to computers, televisions, cassette tapes and the like, but not Vacuum Cleaners!

 

[jmurray01]

Back in... Ooh, 2008 it must have been, I ordered an old Gateway laptop from America via eBay.

I didn't have anything to do with the transit of the parcel, but it did take a very long time to arrive, I remember that much!

 

[ryry_87]

for Jamie..

the 'caravan' as I used to call it

 

[jmurray01]

Well well, I'll be God damned! As they say in all those American films...

 

[ryry_87]

it was a random one I must say, had a really nice National Panasonic from the same era too, both rare in this country

 

[jmurray01]

Hey, you never know, I may see something like that when I go into the recycling store tomorrow morning with my measly £9, ha ha.

If I buy a Vacuum Cleaner, Vacuum Land will be the first to know! Keep an eye out for a new thread.

 

[jmurray01]

Well I did go into the recycling store but all they had was a Vax tub and a HOOVER Aqua something or other...

HOWEVER - He did say he had a bunch of uprights which he'd be PAT testing soon so I could come back this afternoon and there was an older model he'd give me for £9. I didn't ask what make or model it was, but I'll go down in a couple of hours and take a look and probably buy it... Unless it is a Purepower of course, ha ha.

 

[ryry_87]

just won a Miele S4711 Graphite on ebay for £19, bargain! says it's cutting out so it'l probably need a good service and new batteries for the remote hose
