Question ID: 327023
I am in Australia.  I want to order some things from American
warehouses which do not ship internationally.  Can someone find me the
name of an American remailer who can take delivery of these items and
post them to me in Australia please?   I am looking to pay postage
plus a reasonable handling fee for this service i.e. approx.$10 US per
parcel.

Hi there,

I recently looked long and hard for this type of service myself (I
live in Australia too). This is the best I could find. This link takes
you to their pricelist - let me know if this is suitable for your
needs:

I do not know what clarification is sought.  This is the first time I
have used this service, but I stated my request as clearly as I could
manage.  So far the reply I have had seems to be exactly what I'm
looking for.  Will scrutinise site and provide final advice once this
is done.

Please post your previous comment as an answer.  I have employed the
company you recommended.  Thank you.  I am sorry for the delay, but
Easter intervened quite a lot, and also my unfamiliarity with how
Google answers worked caused some mistakes to be made by me, despite
some very good help from their Support Team.

Hello,

I would be pleased if you would post your comment as an answer as I
want to pay you, and apparently that can't happen until you do this. 
By the way, have you checked out www.toship.com an ad for which
appears/did appear at the top of this page?

Hi there,

Access USA's Mail Forwarding Service

It costs $US176 to get up and running, but after that you just pay
reasonable shipping costs. This link takes you to their pricelist:

hours of trawling through websites myself.  Many thanks.

I ordered 4 parcels from USA department stores in June 2004 and
arranged shipment through www.toship.com   I contacted them on several
occasions and was advised that my parcels had arrived at toship.  I
then arranged with them how I wanted them shipped.  To date I have not
heard from them and have sent several emails requesting shipping of
the parcels. I am rather concerned now, perhaps they are a shonky
site, keeping overseas orders. Has anyone had goods shipped via
www.toship.com.  If so let me know, please.   Thanks

I also live in Australia and bought an electrical item in the USA from
ebay in May 2004 and had it shipped through www.toship.com.  The owner
Aaron Watson failed to deliver.  After minimal email communication he
told me it was on its way  but it has never arrived.  ebay.com has
numerous threads about this company's non-delivery, check them out
too.  I tried to telephone him, did numerous searches on his telephone
numbers which have been disconnected.  Suggest everyone who has had
the misfortune of not receiving their goods post their complaints on
all scam sites. Perhaps authorities will pick it up and charge him. 
If you try to access his website now it says his site has been
suspended.
