USA Mail forwarding

    Hi, does anyone know of any cheap USA mail / package shipping and forwarding services that offer a USA Address to ship to? I want to buy something online that only ships to USA Addresses but the cost of forwarding the package to ireland on these sites such as reship.com, shipito.com and myus.com are charging me more to ship the item than what it costs to buy. I'm hoping someone knows of some ingenious company that charges a set rate or has genuinely massively reduced shipping rates. The sites I've mentioned state they have huge discounts but that's not how it seems to me!

    Also, how do I get around not having a USA credit card?

    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    ;) Well, the cost of shipping from the US is always the problem and you just have to factor it in to the overall cost. I use Shipito who give USPS and Airmail rates - always the cheapest if you don't mind waiting a week or two.Consolidating a few packages into one is a real saver.
    The ideal situation is to have someone in the US who would do this as a favour but even they would not get around international shipping rates.
    You only need a valid Irish credit card for the agencies - some US retailers are a bit paranoid and just won't accept international cards.
