British Parcel-Forwarding Sites

[Cremildo]

Are there any British parcel-forwarding sites, like MyVipBox or Shipito in the US?

Amazon.uk is currently not shipping to the US (and shipping directly to my country has become nigh impossible since they started collecting import fees over a year ago); billing addresses from my country are not allowed by Zavvi and Eureka.

I've used forward2me in the past.

Thanks, I'll bookmark that one.

But almost 20 pounds for a non-tracked parcel (and with a max value of just 20 pounds) would be almost twice what I pay on MyVipBox (15 dollars) in my country's currency. It'll have to be a "last resort" sort of thing.

Shipito actually now have a European shipping address, presumably for just such a case as yours!

Whoa! I already have an account there, but stopped using it since migrating to MyVipBox. Great to know. I guess I'll have to start using it again.

Forward2me is not great value if you want to ship just a few parcels one by one. But If you can accumulate 10-15 parcels and ship them all at once (their warehouse will keep them for up to 30 days for free), then it's a different story.

I even saved about ten pounds one time by choosing "combine and repack" on one parcel.

That what I always do in order to avoid having to pay an obscene amount in import fees. One parcel at a time.
