    Hi all. I've heard about some companies that offer services that allow you to buy something that can't be shipped to your country by setting up a mailbox for you in the country the shop can send to and then sending it to you in your country.

    Anyway, I know of one company which is Aramex. Reason why I'm looking for something like this is because I'd like to order a couple heavy items from Amazon.com but they've stated that they only ship those items within the US. These items are sold on the UK website as well but the problem is that its over 200% more expensive from the UK site in comparison to the US one.

    I know shipping has to be accounted for but I'm pretty sure it'll still work out a lot cheaper from the US. Anyway, something which I'm uncertain of is if Aramex would ship heavy items as it is a mailbox so would anyone know of other couriers? Thanks

    Sorry to go OT but have you used Aramex? Ireland is not listed as a country that it ships to.

    I want to purchase clothing from an online store in uk that doest ship to ireland and that isnt lited on Aramex's site.
