A huge long shot here, i desperately need two decals for a motorcycle im restoring, problem is website site which 'seems' to be letting me put these seemingly unobtainable elsewhere parts into their basket/checkout, then ask for postcode, but its only accepting Swedish ones(all numbers).
I'm assuming they just dont deal with the Uk??
If this is the case i would need help from someone with contacts over there? Anyone help out? thanks!

Do they have a phone number? Or email address?

Many Swedish people speak remarkably good English...

Or use Google translate and send an email (in English and Swedish) asking how you can contact the to pay for a UK address?

Definetly phone them, as above the majority of Swedes learn English at primary school level.

Indeed. Just speak a bit slower, especially if you have a strong regional accent. If the person answering doesn't speak English, then someone in the office will.

Alternatively, use Google translate for the email. It's fit for (this) purpose.

Can you post a link? I can have a quick look at it for you. Some Swedish websites will only sell to Sweden, but there might be a way round it. I speak Swedish and translate it for a living. Well, someone's got to. wink

I have contacts over there who might be able to help if you need somebody on site in Sweden, too.

Don't use Google Translate, it's not very good for into Swedish. Half the time it says the opposite of what you want to say. wink
