Hey,
I was just reading a the style with the Times when I spotted this
www.myus.com
Basically it's a company who provides you with a US address so you can buy from websites that do not provide international shipping.You pay a fee for it though , but still like.cool

Has anyone used it ?

well, maybe not

 

[flashback]

I got a US address which I can get all my shit sent to from American web sites.

I had to buy a house to get it though.

could have been a great idea, but they ruined it by shipping dhl and fedex. usps is so much cheaper.

 

[flashback]

USPS is cheaper?
I dont know about that.

The problem is that the likes of DHL / FedEx / UPS will all helpfully handle your import duty calculations for you, invoice you, then charge you for the 'service'.

 

[flashback]

Ah, yes. Yeah, they might do that alright.

Yeah, I got seriously stung by UPS there recently. It's like they pull imaginary figures out of thin air to make up their "charges"

I showed the invoice I received to the accountant in work, she thought it was a joke! Extortionate.
The "charges" were pretty much half the value of the item.

Then, USPS sent me stuff from the same guy in the states.

No charge.
