Hello all,

I am a US citizen temporarily living in Europe. Is it possible for me to have
sellers ship to my Europe address even though all of my payment/billing info
is tied to my US address? IE I buy from a store in Poland, and have it shipped
to me here in Europe instead of to my address in the US.

Just trying to avoid unnecessary delay in receiving my order from having to potentially
ship a Europe order to my US address, then back to my Europe address from the
US.

Thanks!

Hi,

Not possible.
And if you change your account’s address, it will close your shop and you’ll
have to go through the seller verification process again.

Also, I’m not sure you won’t have troubles, or at least taxes and duties, with
sending packages back and forth.
(If “I’m sending my own stuff to myself” was an easy way to bypass customs, that
would be a big loophole everyone would use )

Maybe have a European friend order for you when you’re in Europe?

The flip side to this is, if you use PayPal, you can change your PayPal address
because most stores that accept PayPal ship to the PayPal address. I would still
confirm with the seller that they will ship to the PayPal address and not the
Bricklink address.
