I want to buy a few pairs of custom coverse shoes. I live in the UK.
Converse only deliver their custom shoes to the US, so...

Are there any online companies which specialise in taking delivery of
US-Only items and then shipping them to the Uk - for a fee obviously?

I can't find any despite searching for a while on google.

Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,

What you are looking for is a mail forwarding service. When you sign
up, you will be given a U.S. address that you will be able use to
order the shoes.

"Have you ever tried unsuccessfully to get mail delivered to your
address outside of the US? Some US stores simply won't deliver to you.
Perhaps you are working outside the US, or you are a frequent
international traveler, or even on a world cruise. For you, and many
people like you who want to receive mail at a US mailing address and
have that mail sent to you at your address outside the US, you'll be
faced with the challenge of how to reliably get your mail."
"Mail forwarding services provide you with a US based street address
for the receipt of your mail. These services then provide you with a
means to request those items be shipped to you. Depending on the
weight, size and how fast you want to get your mail will determine how
much it costs you. Some mail forwarding services let you control what
gets sent and others just send it all. These services typically charge
a setup fee, an annual or monthly fee and some fees for your shipping.
Understanding what you get for these fees can make the difference in
which service you choose."
