My dear friends in other countries– I have GREAT news for you. I’ve read on a few of your blogs that you love to buy things from the U.S. (especially now that our dollar is a disaster in the currency tarde!) but you still can’t ship your stuff to your home country, because many shipping companies won’t ship outside the U.S. So, unless you have a rich relative or can visit the U.S. and wink your way through customs- you’re stuck.
Guess what? Use ShipItTo.com– they have solved this problem! You can ship your package to their special USA address, and they will ship it on to you, wherever you are in the world.
ShipItTo.com notifies you by email when they receive your package. From there, you can use their shipping calculator and choose how you want your package mailed to you. ShipItTo.com uses the reliable shipping companies, too– FedEx, United States Postal Service Priority, or Express. This helps to cut costs and save you the bucks. Or Euros. Or yueng. Or lira. All that stuff.
Check out the site for more details; I think it’s a great idea and solves a lot of the shipping problems you guys have been blogging about. Also, you can check the site for an affiliate program to make a little money on the side with ShipItTo.com, as well.

Another great option for handling international shipments is Bongo International.
I’ve been using them for awhile now and they consolidate my US purchases and ship them right to my door, saving me a lot of money.
They have a lot of international shipping info on their website, and a live chat option for any questions. BongoUS also offers a pay-per-use option while other mail forwarding companies require you to pay a subscription fee
