Someone here from the Netherlands?

I could use some help to get a certain DVD.
I am talking about "Model by Day" the movie with Famke Janssen as vigilante.
It isn't the greatest, but it is special to me.
I do have the US VHS, but only for collection purposes nowadays. The DVD is very rare.
There are also self-made DVDs of that movie on sale, but I want an original.
But I found a shop in the Netherlands that has it, I guess as Famke Janssen is Dutch, they had a DVD release then.
The problem for me is, that they only sell to addresses in the Netherlands.
So, is anyone here from there who could order it and then send it to me?
I know it's a lot to ask, but it's worth a try.
Here is the page with the DVD in the shop:

P.S.: Of course, I would pay for the DVD and your postage costs.
And I would add a bonus for the trouble.

Might be worth telling people where they will be sending it to.

Good luck I hope someone can help.

Well, the country flag on my profile doesn't lie ;-)
I'm rather close to the Netherlands.

Or get one of those postboxe things and go for the weekend to pick it up?

Thanks for the link!
Well, I checked the site and it seems like more of a solution for companies for forwarding mail and such things.
They want a registration fee and a monthly fee.
I just want one small envelope to send from the Netherlands to me.

What also would be an option that someone buys that DVD and "officially" sells it to me with eBay or so.
So far I haven't found the original DVD anywhere else than that dutch site that only sells to addresses in the Netherlands.

You don't see flags on the mobile version of the site on posts only if you go into the profile as you say . Without seeing them and your reference to seeing the US original I actually thought you were stateside.

Ah ok, didn't know that. I am one of those guys who does 95% of his web surfing on a Desktop PC.
There you have a big display, a mouse and a keyboard.
Ten times better than any smartphone... in my opinion. (and I am still younger than the majority here)
But nowadays the majority seems to prefer a tiny midget display and a touchscreen.

I don't have a clue what that means, even after a quick google search :hmmm:

It's a London cockney phrase for someone showing off
You'd hear it on TV in things like The Sweeney, Minder and Only Fools and Horses
(It was a joke on my part that you were boasting that you had a keyboard and a PC, don't worry I know you weren't but that was the joke, because anyone can have them there's nothing to boast about) It's basically Flash meaning something showy and calling attention to it's self, and monkey meaning a cheeky little chap. Kids in UK are often called 'little monkey' when they get up to mischief.
It's not intended to be offensive it's just a jocular phrase
