US mail forwarding

**BlackSheepLogic** · 18th December 2014, 16:54

Looking to purchase an item that is not available here. The company don't permit international sales of their product by the retailers. Any recommendations on a reliable forwarding company which will forward packages on to NZ though a US address?

Thanks.

Awesome service, not the cheapest but can be if you are smart about it.

YouShop is a great service.

Don't expect them to do you any favours pricewise though.

I've found that sometimes it is worth paying the $4.50 repacking fee to get the cost down when items have been shipped in oversized packaging. To BSL, prices are based on volumetric weight.

Yup, just cost me $37NZD for four sets of rings, could have just about put the whole motor in the box they came in

Cost me $198 to get a seat across the Pacific.

You couldn't have fitted the seat-strap inside the package.

Don't trust Nodrog.

I'm still waiting for the root I paid him for.

I have used www.shipito.com a fair bit and the service has been excellent each time. Plus you can punch in dimensions and weights to get a idea of shipping costs before the purchase.

That address is for a parked domain.
