Ozz,

I would try to negotiate with the seller to see if they can ship direct to you.
Shipping does cost, but you will be paying for it anyway.

I doubt if a hobby shop will be a middle man. You can try.
Try to negotiate and use paypal.
Paypal will only be a problem if you paypal acct is funded by a credit card as mine is. If you have money in your acct then you can send it to anyone for free.

I have never tried to have shipped, a large kit or complete model. That would be expensive.!!

What sort of stuff are you looking for?.
Western Union is a company that you can transfer money like paypal but you can go to your local newsagent and do it there.


Regards
