Recommendations - US Freight Forwarding service for Small Item from Amazon

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to purchase something I can only seem to find on Amazon, and it tells me they won't ship to Australia. I have been doing some research about how to order to a 'virtual' US address then have it freight forwarded to Australia. It will be a one off so I'm after the cheapest and most reliable service to ship the item. It is a small item and according to the Amazon website, shipping weight is '9.6 ounces' (which is less than 300g).

Having never used one of these services I am a bit hesitant and was hoping to get some advice from fellow ozbargainers who may have been in the same position. Obviously I want the cheapest way to get it here but good reliable service is the priority. A little bit of research came up with the following:

Shipito
Borderlinx
HopShopGo
Australia Post ShopMate

I was going to go with ShopMate hoping for Australian support/service and someone to contact if there were any problems but a quick google search found nothing but negative comments and reviews, now I'm really not sure what to do. Any advice from people on which services they have used would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

  • Shipito

  • I use ShopMate, HopShopGo & MyUkMailbox no issues with any. Although HopShopGo may have slightly rounded up the weight in past deliveries.
