Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonably priced reshipper for a Kindle Fire kids 10-inch tablet? I usually use Planet Express but their cheapest shipping price is about US$68 with insurance. That's half the price of the tablet.

Shipitto looked to be a little bit cheaper, US$45 for their own carrier, $55 for USPS, if they'll take lithium batteries. Youshop don't even seem to send anything with a lithium battery except by boat.

Reshipping has gotten super expensive. I might end up getting it at a higher price in the UK since a relative can send it fairly cheaply.

NB: this is complete. Have a look at the feedback on MyUS on page 2 - they're pretty good.

Note that a Fire tablet doesn't use Google Play Store. It will have a US-only Amazon App Store and some apps won't be available here - while apps you expect to be available here won't be on the US store.

Thanks, it's an upgrade from an older fire tablet. They're great for kids.

They have better prices, thanks! I'll use your referral link if I use them. I contacted them to ask about shipping lithium batteries in tablets.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we specifically want a kindle fire for kids. The interface is easy, it gives them age appropriate content for not a bad fee, and the hardware is moderately priced. Shipping is the only problem. I used MyUS which was suggested above. Shipping will be about $30 plus a $30 "dangerous goods" fee.

That was the Fire tablet for kids which is what I thought you were after.

Nah it's this one. The one you link to is a generic tablet rather than a Kindle Fire

You can side load the play store, I have this on my US bought Kindle Fire tablets and have had no issues.

I use the NZ post https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/you-shop service to do walmart orders, its normally $40/50 a time

The Youshop website seems to say anything with a lithium battery must go via sea shipping. I don't think that was the case in the past.

Thanx. Strange that they ship free all the other kids ones but not this one. Does some one here in NZ have rights to it??

Fire is an Amazon brand - like Amazon Fire TV. They just target US-only customers with their tablets at the moment, that's all.

The other one you posted is just a no-brand tablet.

Yes you're correct. PB Tech used to sell Amazon tablets in NZ but it looks like they have gone. I bought one from them about 3 years ago . Worst tablet I ever owned. Gave it to my bro in law last year. It was ok for what he wanted it for. PriceSpy shows Mighty Ape and Parallel Imports have Amazon tablets bit not this one.
