Need help to buy remote from Romania
#1
Question 
I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. Please move the post to appropriate section if I'm wrong. I also hope I'm not breaking any forum rules to ask for this kind of thing. In that case remove this post and I'll try to find help somewhere else. But since Kodi users seems to help each other I'm hoping to find some help here.


To make the transition to Kodi easy to the family I'm trying to locate the same, or very similar, remote control that is used today by the box we rent from the cable company.
I have found a exact match in form and button layout, only different text on some buttons. My problem is that I cant find them in any "normal" internet store.
The only place I've found them seems to be a website similar to eBay, but in Romania.

I would like to get in contact with some nice and honest person living in Romania who would be able to buy a few of these remotes and send them to me.
If I understand the webpage right the remotes should cost about €4-5 each, and the same for shipping in Romania. Hopefully not shipping for each item, should be able to bundle them in one package.
But if I find some who could help me I'm sure they would understand the information on the page and explain to me.

Please send me a private message if you think you can help me.

So you're looking from someone from Romania to buy the items and send them to Sweden?

Does the shop not deliver to Sweden? How are you going to arrange costs?

I'll leave this post here for the time being, technically you're not breaking rules.
Please read the online manual (wiki) & FAQ (wiki) before posting.

This is the item I'm talking about: http://www.okazii.ro/telecomenzi/telecom...a172825597
So it is no ordinary shop. I have tried to find a internet shop to buy from, since it would be easier. But failed so far.

I was thinking about using PayPal or something to send money. If I found someone willing to help we could talk about how much it would cost to buy the item and send to Sweden.
But I would have to find a honest and nice person who I could trust, but i guess there is people like that in Romania too =)

I have tried to send a message to the seller asking about shipment to Sweden, but haven't got any answer.

Yes, I know there are a lot of remotes on eBay. And if the one that I wanted was available on eBay I would buy it. But to make the transition easy for the family I would like a remote that is related to the one used today. And then try to configure to have the same kind of functions in the new remote and Kodi.

This is the remote I would like to have: http://www.okazii.ro/telecomenzi/telecom...5597#forum

But this is the only place I've found that sells it.

We do have Romanian users, whether someone will agree to what you've asked is another question.

As always, be safe with Internet transactions.

All I can do is ask =)
But I will continue to search for another better solution.
