Hi OBs,

I am looking to get something custom made from the US but regular shipping costs are crazy. I was just curious about your experience with mail forwarding services. The company ships to anywhere in the US for free. Main considerations credibility and cost efficiency. Weight of the package will be around 8kgs. All input appeciated.

Thanks!

        Tried. Too hard to organise given there is no set date for the piece to be finished ;(

  Look for a service that allows you to select USPS as an option.
  Although slower, it may cost less.

  Have your item sent very well packaged otherwise your Parcel Forwarder may need to repack and have it insured against loss or damage all the way…

  Consider shipito.com or priceusa.com.au

    They deal with iron made products (so I assume packaging is key). THEY have free shipping within US (bless).

    Thanks for the advise. Will definitely look into USPS as an option.

  MyUS.com

  8kg by Budget Economy (7-14 days) to Australia is quoted at US$89.74 (approx $A118.00) Open an account with them using the Mastercard or Visa promotion and you get 20% off their shipping rates and no fees for 2 years.

  Turned out to be cheaper shipping using the vendor from TN using FedEx, crazy. Thanks for the help guys.
