Where can I buy Byford underpants (boxer briefs) online (or in some store in  
Boston, MA area, or in Portugal)? 
Byford is the brand on the label of a pair of boxer briefs I bought  
in a Hong Kong department store.  

Dear lmviterbo, 
 
 
You can purchase Byford underwear at the following on-line source:

Dear shal, 
 
You were far too quick. If you read the fineprint on any of the
pagelinks you provided, you'll see "Delivered within Singapore only".
I'm living in Portugal and traveling to Boston soon, so these are the
areas where I can buy, even online.
 
Thank you anyway. I hope you manage to find the information, although
I believe this one is really tough.

Thank you for your clarification.  Unfortunately, the website that I
provided was the only one I could find that offered the product you
are seeking. Byford is manufactured in Hong Kong and it appears that
it is not distributed to your areas. I was able to find two textile
manufacturing companies that make the Byford line, however, they
operate in Hong Kong. Nevertheless, here is their contact details
should you like to contact them to inquire about future Byford
availability in your area.

Although the researcher was helpful and willing, s/he didn't answer my
question. I was looking for some place to buy Byford underwear online,
but had specifically mentioned areas of delivery (Portugal or Boston,
MA). Even after clarification request, s/he answers Byford underwear
_appears_ not to be distributed in these areas.

Byford socks are fairly readily available, but Byford underwear seems
to be harder to locate in the States. However, here is a site that has
a decent selection of Byford underwear:

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/metro-sg/men-s-underwear-byford.html

Enjoy,

Looking at this - it seems perhaps Byford underwear is hong kong only
- perhaps even unrelated to the sock company

http://www.byfordsock.com/index.htm

It is possible to get shipments forwarded to a foreign address, so it
mostly depends on how valuable it is for you to get these specific
underwear.

http://www.mailnetwork.com/locations.html

will set up a foreign mailing address and forward packages up to
150lbs. from what I've read, but the set up and rental costs are
significant, perhaps more than having that specific underwear is for
you.

Imviterbo:

I too was similarly confused by the box at the bottom of Metro's
website that stated they only delivered within Singapore.  But if you
go to their FAQ page

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/metro-sg/faq04.html

They detail their overseas shipping policies.  Also, on this page:

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/metro-sg/faq05.html

They detail the acceptable methods of payment.  The "Singapore Only"
delivery is concerned with their Free Shipping Offer for orders in
excess of $100 net.

I hope this helps.
