Wookie, Ryyven, I think I've found the best option so far...
My housemate uses this package consolidation site,
http://www.shipito.com/ to get them to forward on packages from the US (US hates sending to the rest of the world, where's australia lol). My housemate had no problems in the past. Shouldn't be too hard to change the amazon shipping address to the shipto one. They should receive by the 22nd and I can get my code emailed to me (haven't yet confirmed but it should be ok) and then my CE sent out later on.
Waiting for 2 days is much better than waiting till sometime after 25th, or risk using some dodgey gold seller site. Thoughts??
