I always have some friend traveling to US that could bring this kind of item in their luggage and I would not have to pay international shipping and taxes.

So, I loose time and money, Sidewinder loose a costumer.

The issue with sidewinder was some guys around here calling their credit card issuer and lied about not receiving their packages. That way the credit card issuer blocked the payment and Sidewinder lost money.
But! But! couldn't sidewinder track where package arrived and shipper/postoffice that handed over pack had to get sign from buyer to receive his/her package ? And preferable had to check their ID ?
