I've seen a few things (bargains!) on-line in some US stores which they won't ship to non-US addresses, so as not to breach their distributor agreements with the manufacturer. There's a bunch of companies which offer a local address service in the US who will forward any items on to your nominated country.

Does anyone here have experience, good or bad, with any of these?

Some names I found in a 15 second Google search are:
www.reship.com
www.shipito.com
www.myus.com
www.bongous.com

There's bound to be more. Any feedback?

    No experience of these but what about import duty and taxes - you need to factor these into the price.
    Yellow is the new Black.

    I'm in Australia, so local rules are that if shipment is less than a grand in value, no tax or duty applies. More concerned with the handling ability of these places. Thanks!
