You can use a package forwarding service to get shipping to Peru (or any other country) from US stores that don't ship outside the US. You can get a US address, order from Newegg (or any store you want) and forward your items to your country. See http://www.opas.com/how-it-works.php


That's a great idea! Why is it costing you $20/month? You can get a US forwarding address with no monthly maintenance fee here: http://bit.ly/f4v9Je


You don't need a passport or a car. Just use a package forwarding service. Check out http://bit.ly/gN2oGK


Glad to hear you're on board, Dylan. We (OPAS) are excited to be working with WakeMate and are looking forward to getting this product to a wider audience.


Hi. We used to ship to Russia, but we've recently had to cancel service there because the country's customs authorities no longer accept personal import shipments. We apologize for the interruption and we're currently trying to find a solution to help you and other members access products like WakeMate.


Hi, this is Reid at OPAS, the forwarding service WakeMate is working with. Just to clarify, we offer two membership plans: the "Package & Mail" plan requires the $15 monthly fee you're referring to, but our "Package Only" plan does not require any monthly fee. So if you don't need to receive mail documents, you can sign up for the Package Only membership and save an additional $15. Hope this helps!


Thanks for the clarification, I mis-understood the pricing table. The total would then be ~$50USD, still a unpleasant price (NB. I don't think the price is unreasonable for the service, just something "hidden" in the blog post: If it was closer to $20USD, it would be less of a shock.)


Do you happen to know the dimensions and weight of the package it comes in?


I just asked on their website:

WakeMate: its 8 inches by 6 inches by 1 inch WakeMate: and weighs .2 lbs
