Dopers Unite! Urgent Request for HELP!

[QUOTE=Mangetout]
I don’t live in the USA, which is making it hard to order stuff.

Is there a paypal account to which donations can be sent?

I wish there was a way to take foreign currency, but there is not, at least not that we have available at this time.

Thanks!

Jayson

Two of each are coming from Walgreens.com.

I think I’ll e-mail customer service to see if there’s some way they can bundle all these shipments together into one or two big ones to save on the labor of having to open a lot of little packages.

I sent the e-mail. We’ll see what they say.

I can send a PayPal payment in US Dollars - I just can’t seem to sign up for an account at Walgreens.

I’ve sent three of each…

Two of each via walgreens.com. newcrasher, I gave your email address as the one for them to send order updates to.

Feckin’ Walgreens. Asked far too many difficult questions!

I didn’t register- probably helped. I listed the “first name” as Walnut Grove and the “last name” as Church and had no problem.

I didn’t register either, it kept asking me which county the town was in! Then there were a couple of things it said didn’t match, so I gave up and went elsewhere. Drugstore.com was much more forgiving.

One of each from Mangetout.

Thanks for your assistance with that, twickster.

Not a bad place to make my 30,000th post!

Sent ten of each from Drugstore.com. Should arrive in 4-7 days.

Sent two of each from drugstore.com

Had to do some creative tinkering with the address forms, as a result the billing and shipping info is all directed to the church. I used the Church’s phone number and your email as contacts, I hope that’s ok there’s little I can do about deliveries from this side of the pond!

You should have an email soon confirming the order. Shipping within 3-7 days.
Have sent you a PM with more details.

Hope you get all you need.

Another un-American willing to help. If someone to whom I can send money would like to proxy-send a few, please email me.

For the Non-US dopers, I think you can elect to send US dollars via payPal, but as yet I don’t recall seeing a payPal address listed in this thread.
Or
You should be able to order from an online retailer and have it shipped to the church.

Yay! My order confirmation says two of each item should arrive in 5-7 days.

UK-Dopers, I placed my order through drugstore.com using a UK card and specified the church as a shipping address. It all seems to have worked fine for me.

That’s what stumped me. Walgreens won’t accept non-US PayPal payments and I’m pretty sure payment by a non-US credit card will also prove problematic, as the fields for cardholder address are not set up for non-US addresses, and that’s likely to cause the transaction to bounce.

Walgreens can’t combine shipments. Rats.

Robin

Five of each on the way from drugstore.com - ETA 8/04 or 8/05.

Good on you for helping these folks out.

At this point we have a commitment of 49.

You guys are superlative in every way! I can’t wait to get back and share pics with you of the kids you are helping!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Peace,
