Try this site -->http://www.mailforwarding.biz/
I've never used it so can't vouch for it but there are a few online sites that offer a similar service.

Basically -->

Sign up and receive an U.S. street address from us.
- We receive your package and immediately notify you.
- We can re-package or consolidate multiple packages into one to reduce your shipping cost.
- Buy goods from Amazon, eBay or any other online merchants using a U.S. forwarding address
- You instruct us when and how you want to receive your package.
- We ship your items to your location for a low price.

I got a pair of New Balance. I like em coz I have big flat feet and they produce a vast ranges of sizes that fit even mine paddles.

Very comfortable and they look aight too, for cross trainers.

J Gal, yes i do reckon nike have gone downhill, its not just an opinion i share but many others aswell.

for instance, AM90s now have a latex like paint applied to the midsole, which cracks and breaks away with ease unlike earlier production that had the colour properly bonded to the midsole.

interesting nhd...got any other examples?

I'm intrigued with the idea that nike would reduce their quality but maintain their price tag. Not suprised, but intrigued.

Ah yeah i remember hearing about that! They had problems with two coloursways. Ex bf had a pair of the orange tarten ones and the black/red/grey colourways. Soul paint started to crack after one wear... My bad. Gal is officially wrong! lol
But i haven't had problems with mine (lucky)

its all in the effort to make more money!!

Mixstress, with the release of recent Jordands there was sloppy gluing, stitching and odd sizing on some pairs.

id think quality control is just lacking.
