How do most of use pay credit card,direct deposite or money order :-/
looking at getting my first over seas purchase

[Leighton]

credit card

[BARRAkid]

hmmm dont have a credit card could be interesting :P

[Outsider1]

Hi BK,

there are a couple of alternatives to a pure credit card that might be options for you.

1. Visa Debit Card. Works like a credit card but with no credit limit attached. You need funds in your account to cover your purchases.

2. Pre-paid Debit Card

thanks mate have you been through them ?:D

Oh yeh ..... A couple of reels for myself & 2 or 3 for others
Of all the stores mentioned so far ....... It is the one store that there has never been a bad experience ( from what I know of) ...... Bassjp is OK too

buy with a credit card ....... get someone close to you to do it since you don't have one!

Mate $15 is about what you should pay ( & its EMS which is every bit as good as UPS) ....... I was quoted US$25 for 4 lures today from the US ........ That's crap!

As I suggest to all Newby importers ...... just buy something small ( a few lures) so you get the feel of the process ( before you go through the week of hell ..... thinking , "Have I done my money::)!" )

not sure mate am looking for somthing small like a luvias or somthing like that for bream.
I have around the $300 but im sure i can wait a week or two then i should be able to stretch to around $400 all depend how long i want to wait :-/
I have a exceller plus 1500 to use aswell so i may wait a few weeks ::)
yer would like to start small but i think i have enough lures awww maby i could do with a few more bream hardbodies


cheers BK "can never have too many lures" ;D
