I am wanting to ship an item from a US supplier which won't ship to NZ. I was planning on using Youshop. However the retailers web site won't let me enter an NZ address for the Billing Address and because the Billing Address doesn't match my credit card address the transaction is declined. The retailer will only accept credit cards for payment.

 

Does anyone have an idea about how to get round this roadblock?

There is usually an option somewhere to have separate billing and shipping addresses...  have a hunt round on the checkout pages to see if there is one?

There is the option to have a separate billing address, but it has to be a US address.

Someone on here has recommended planetexpress.com in the past. I've used them quite happily in this sort of situation.

That still doesn't get over the problem of paying the retailer.
