International mail forwarding services

[AussieBen]

Hi guys and girls,

Just wondering if anyone has used these services and recommend any particular place. I would like to look into buying stuff from the US or UK but a lot of places won't ship to Aus.

Anyone that has, could you shed some light on reliability, costs, time, any problems that have happened, just general info really.

Thanks,
Ben

Wouldn't you be able to use an international company like Fed Ex? Not trying to push a particular company, it's the first one that came to mind.

It is just that a lot of places won't even deal with you unless you have a country of origin address. Say for instance I would like to buy from Amazon.Uk, or buy something from someone in the U.S on Ebay or something. I thought it may be easier to just have it shipped to your allocated U.S or U.k address and let them take care of it. Having it all consolidated apparently makes shipping a bit cheaper to instead of paying for all individual items.
