Help needed - Postal Forwarding from brazil - will Pay!

Hi westro,

I'm afraid that it's not going to be anywhere near as simple as you imagine to get the medication sent to you. First of all if it is posted or sent by courier it's likely to be intercepted by the Receita Federal (Customs). They will simply detain the package and dispose of it, since they're not even going to bother testing it to make sure it doesn't contain elicit drugs. Secondly, you're going to have a hassle transferring funds here to anyone even with Western Union, etc., it involves 4 hour or more waiting in the bank for them to get the paperwork right and release the funds.

To be quite honest with you, you're going to stand a much better chance if you can convince someone who is flying into the UK to bring the medication to you and arrange for you to meet them at the airport on arrival.

Also unless it is an over the counter medication available without a prescription it will be much easier. If a prescription is required you may have a problem too.

It would be best if you post the name of the medication so that we can check the availability and tell you about any further problems that might be involved in getting it to you.

hi, thanks for the comprehensive reply.

The name of the drug is cambem or exelmin, they can be ordered over the internet from pharmacy without scripts, however they do not ship internationally.

Its a shame i do not know anyone in brazil!
