Heading to Switzerland? (for sale, to buy, offices)

[christian&amy]

This is incredibly random, I know. I looking for someone heading to Switzerland to pick up a product that is not exported to the US - it's a traditional swiss cookie iron, and they're only made in Switzerland.

If you are willing to pick up one of these for me, and bring it back with you, I will pay you for the item and your trouble. Please PM if interested.

Here's the product I'm trying to buy:

Bräzeleisen - Haushaltsgeräte von JURA :: JURA Schweiz

I really like their espresso machines, but have never seen any of their other hardware for sale here in the US.

If you havent already, you can try calling their distribution offices in Quebec or in the US (NJ) to see if they can point your in the right direction?

JURA - address, newsletter, opening times :: JURA USA

Thanks shmoov- been down that road already, even to the Export department at Jura in Switzerland. They refuse to ship directly because the product runs 220v and is not UL listed.

So, I have to try unconventional methods. All websites in Switzerland that carry the product only ship within Switzerland. Very tough to purchase this product!

Ah yeah, that can certainly pose a problem.

Brazeli or Pizelle iron might be your only option then?

Ah...I would have totally done it if I would have known a few months ago. I spent 3 weeks in Switzerland earlier this summer. I will ask any of my friends from Switzerland if they are planning on coming to the USA.

Thank you early… that's very kind.
