I'm chasing some sharkhide for my build, it doesn't seem to be available in Australia and Amazon/Ebay doesn't have vendors who will ship it.
I'm in Los Angeles next week, so I'd like to pick some up from a store, but the Sharkhide website doesn't list anything near Los Angeles airport (say within 30 miles)
Other stores that I've tried on previous visit are HF and some local parts shops, but no luck.

Does anyone know of a location near LAX or a chain like NAPA (not listed in their catalogue) that stocks Sharkide?
Cheers
Tim

If you are staying in the LA area, why not order some and have it shipped to wherever you are staying? Most Hotels will hold something for your pick-up when they know you have a reservation.

Good plan, but I'm only in LA for a day, arrive 8am and leave at midnight
I have used USPS general delivery before, where the post office holds parcels for pickup, but most post offices don't offer that anymore (even though their websites say they do), must be part of their cost cutting
I could probably organise FEDEX or UPS to hold it, but there is always some risk doing that.

It would be easier if there is a shop that stocks it, Sharkhide website lists the nearest stockist as 88 miles away

Ive purchased it from Glenn Forrest who is the Australian agent for sharkhide out of NSW.
Great guy and offers local stock and assistance. Cheaper than going thru all the BS of importing it.
I'd look into how it can be imported into Australia as its an acid and I doubt you could just put it in your luggage.
But why support the local guy anyway.

Thanks Chris
I found Glenn's details through another forum, so I'll make contact now I'm back, thanks for the heads up.
Not sure what you mean by your last line but PM sent.
Cheers
