    Rent a USA address.

    Just had an email form parcel2go they are now renting out vitrual addresses in the USA
    for £20/year so you can have your things sent there and then forwarded on to the UK.

    Sounds like a good deal and maybe of use to someone on here:




    I wonder how the whole customs/import fees bit works as i presume they repackage and grope goods in to larger boxes etc...
    If its up to the UK reciver to specify the value then thats a lot of responcibilty to get right i know how much we all love paying v@t and d*ty

    Not too bad.. a 50cm square box at 20Kg is only £147 to ship to the Uk...

    Could be a nice setup for someone wanting to ship parts as a business..

            weird thing.

            awhile ago i got 14 Comp Brake topmounts sent to me. about a month or two later, i get a bill in the mail for customs or something, like almost $70. thats the only time i ever had to pay duty/customs/tax on anything coming in from over there...

            but i send stuff on to S2Forum members all the time.... its a matter of what you claim the value to be, and shops and companies do not want to fudge the value. me, what do i care?
