Default Getting a Nexus S from overseas

What methods are people from overseas using to get the Nexus S? I used a mail forwarder to get my Nexus One but that was made a bit easier because Google's online store accepted overseas credit cards. Unfortunately Best Buy only accepts US credit cards.

I was just going to use the "Buy it for me" service that some mail forwarders offer but just wanted to check if anyone on here had another trick up their sleeves.

But there's no statement, when NS will be available there. Right now you can just pre-order.

Best Buy isn't shipping to any "known" freight-forwarders.

The Nexus S is released by Google in the US on the 16th of November. Given this is just before Christmas we expect to start shipping late December/early January.

Default Use NYBox.com for Nexus S orders

I recommend nybox.com they have Buy For Me service. They buy Nexus S from Best Buy and ship to you worldwide. They charge 15% buy for me fee. Great service, i used them for my Nexus One last year.
I have just placed buy for me request for Nexus S from them.
