For some time I have been trying to find a reproduction of a certain poster used by the Solidarity movement in Poland in the 1980's. It depicted Gary Cooper's character from the movie High Noon, but carrying a ballot instead of a gun, with a slogan encouraging people to go to the polls and vote. It looks like this:
I live in the US and in my months of searching I can't find anybody in the US who sells these. At long last I found a vintage shop in Soho, London that sells reproductions for a reasonable price.

The problem is they won't ship to the US at all! I checked, because their form to ask for a shipping quote used to include every US state and territory in a dropdown BUT you couldn't actually pick the US as your country, so I emailed them and asked and they said nothing doing.
So it seems like the only way I could circumvent this is if I could find somebody in the UK who would be willing to order the item for me, have it shipped to them, and then mail it on to me (with me covering their costs for the whole process of course, plus a few bucks extra for their trouble if desired). Problem with that is, I don't know anybody in the UK who could help me out.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to find someone helpful and trustworthy to assist me with this? Are there sites or services where such package relays can be arranged?
