    Sorry I posted into the wrong place earlier! :o

    I'm looking for a reputable, cheap freight forwarder for one off use based in the US. I want to buy something off amazon.com, which can only be shipped to anywhere inside the US (Roughly 1 1/2 pounds) I've googled and found some, but their websites don't look very... appealing, or professional.
    So anyone have any experience with these?
    The only one I have is myusabox, at $40 for 2 pounds.
    Thanks

    Freight forwarders won't deal with something this small. Use UPS / DHL

    Don't forget duty / vat & customs charges.

    Sorry for the stupid question, how would I go about doing that? Amazon, i think, needs an address to ship to inside the US.

    What I have done in the past is emailed a UPS Store..
    http://www.upsstore.com/

    and explain the situation. I picked a random one, they charged my $10 for 2 months Mail Box and then cost of shipping by USPS.
