US Address Mail Forwarding Services
Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:46 pm
If you want to shop for water guns on Ebay or other US sites, but the seller won't ship internationally, you could use a forwarder. You still have to pay international shipping on the package, on top of the domestic and whatever membership fee the service charges, but at least it would get to your country. They usually include a tracking number, discounted rates, and free insurance up to some amount. The final cost could be less than shipping something straight out of the US, although the time taken will certainly be longer. It really depends on the service and what you bought.
Bongo International - Charges $5 one-time to be a basic member + cost of international shipping
Shipito - Charges $8.50 per package + cost of international shipping
MyUS - Charges $10 one-time to be a basic member + cost of international shipping
One USA Address - Must start sign up process to see plans/rates. Actually verifies your international IP address before letting you sign up, so I can't check them.
These were just the first four hits in Google. There are dozens upon dozens of these services.
